The theory of intersectionality is that advanced by the feminist theorist known as Kimberlé Crenshaw. Crenshaw developed this theory as a critique of what she calls a single-axis framework. A single-axis framework views an issue, whether feminist or otherwise, as the product of a single aspect. To be clearer and to provide an example, a single-axis framework would view the experiences of a woman of color as either those experienced by an individual of color or those experienced by a woman. Crenshaw introduced the concept of intersectionality to explain that certain experiences are unique to those who fall into a combination of these categories. In his article “Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex,” Crenshaw describes intersectionality as “the combined effects of discriminatory practices on the basis of race and on the basis of sex” (385). Intersectionality theory as a whole can apply to much more than experiences of race and gender, integrating the different aspects that make up an individual, to better explain the unique experiences felt by diverse groups of similar individuals. In the realm of feminist discourse, two theorists have used intersection theory to more powerfully punctuate the issues they discuss. This article will focus on how intersectionality theory is applied to two articles presented by Angela Davis and Julietta Hua, to further explain and understand the complexities of the particular areas of discourse they represent. Angela Davis incorporates intersectionality theory to explain the emergence and inaccuracy of the black rapist myth in her article.

Furthermore, by questioning the previous scientific notions that they criticize, they invite other researchers to employ the same concepts to gain a deeper understanding of their individual fields.
