What are the intersection of gender with other categories?Show answer
Gender does not act alone. Intersectionality, a concept developed by Kimberle Crenshaw, shows that gender combines with class, ethnicity, Indigenous status and age to shape life chances. An Aboriginal woman in a remote community faces a different and compounded set of disadvantages from those of a wealthy urban woman. Strong answers note that gender inequality is experienced differently depending on the other categories a person belongs to.
