What is Intersectional Feminism? 

Intersectional Feminism is about involving women of all race, class and cultures in the fight for feminism. It is the idea that feminism needs to be inclusive of all women and if it isn't, it's not feminism. The post shared by Sonam K Ahuja explains it quite well.  Going into the details, the theory clarifies that women of colour, LGBTQ, different orientation or disabled face different forms of discrimination, oppression, marginalization or privilege. It also clarifies how important it is for the larger public to understand this as only then, can one combat or try to bring change.

Here's a glimpse of Sonam's caption - ...  in the beginning of my career, I AD’d with a director for almost 5 years. In a space that was largely dominated by men, I got a glimpse of what it means to be a woman in an otherwise man’s world. It is not easy. Later, when I went on to act in films, one such film that hit home was Neerja... Another inspiration of mine has to be Fatma Begum! She was a leader in so many ways. Largely responsible for pulling the film industry out of its patriarchal ways, she was also unafraid to try news things and experiment.
