DANGEROUS TIMES CALL FOR DANGEROUS WOMEN

In Conversation with Kimberlé Crenshaw

Kimberlé Crenshaw has been making a difference as a lawyer, professor, author, and activist. She is perhaps best known for putting forward the theory of intersectionality—a construct that cuts across the many divides of gender, race, sexual orientation, physical abilities, and economic status to view through a broader lens all the ways those differences impact social-justice issues of oppression or discrimination. Kim has built connections across these divides to make the often invisible, more visible—through her Say Her Name initiative, which reminds us of the many black women dying from violence whose stories and names are often not known and through her leadership of the African American Policy Institute.

I have worked closely with Kimberlé as a colleague on the V-Day board, and I know her to have a bold, brave voice. But did she think of herself as dangerous? I wanted to know.
