The term intersectionality theory was first introduced by Kimberle Crenshaw in 1989. She mentioned, “The intersectional experience (within black women) is more powerful than the sum of their race and sex.” The theory implied various point of views of the intersection within peoples lives regarding their different positions they hold in relation to race, gender, class and other social categories, in hopes to elimanate discrimination and social inequity. Crenshaw’s theory of intersectionality is complex and challenging to use to its fullest capacity. She is neglecting the inclusion theory where individuals are encouraged to represent their own race, sex or social class and instead opening the eyes to judging a character based on the circumstance.
