Week Two Prompt

We have stated that our primary theoretical framework in this course in Intersectionality, which states that we should not view identity as 'either/or' but rather 'both/and' across different categories.

sexual orientation, and identity. These disadvantages make any wins and gains made by activism
and fight for empowerment to have little to no effect on some individuals.
Women-First Initiatives, Wage Gap, Race, and Class
Intersectionality can be found in varying situations. Some of these situations are race and
pay gap which has become a major concern among feminists and activists in the country. The
two offer different realities in which a race is not well represented when it comes to changes
made in terms of payments in the United States. According to research Latina, Black and Native
American women are paid less than their white counterparts. However, the main aim or effort of
