Feminist views heavily criticise power in society and challenges both mainstream and critical criminology. The feminist movement is broadly speaking a movement to eliminate oppression and inequalities towards women due to their gender (Beasley, 1999).

identities overlap and affect one another, at the forefront of her discussions. She regularly comments on popular culture, and discusses how mainstream media’s misrepresentation and exclusion of minorities contributes to the continuation of the systematic oppression of these groups. Gay rightly stresses the idea of intersectionality, as too often the mainstream culture separates different social inequalities, trying to solve them as isolated issues, when in fact, racism, sexism, and homophobia…
