Answer 1

The correct answer is Intersectionality

Intersectionality is a methodological tool disputed at the academic crossroads. It is an analytical offering prepared by black feminists. Conceptually, she was coined by the American jurist, the professor of critical race theory Kimberlé Crenshaw, within the scope of anti-discrimination laws.

It is a theoretical and methodological tool used to think about the structural inseparability of racism, capitalism and cisheteropatriarchy, and the resulting articulations, which over and over again place black women more exposed and vulnerable to the transit of these structures.
