Abstract

Gender equity is an issue long been discussed, in which the group of colored women’s voices gets more attention presently. Based on the established theoretical results on intersectionality and studies on American history of civil rights, this paper looks back on the racial-gender intersection in American feminist movements, at the same time explores its causes and significance, aiming to tease out the tortured process of racial and gender inequalities while trying to provide a reference for the ever-lasting marginal groups’ civil rights movements exercises around the world. Finally, it is demonstrated that the long history of racial-gender intersection provided mass resources of practical cases and theoretical foundation. The conclusion is that colored women being involved in feminist movements preliminary emerged in first-wave feminism, but it was not until the third-wave feminism that the attention and discussion on intersectionality were included. Previous researches, literature from an American history organization and literature from some scholars are used as study materials.
