3. Black Women, Misogynoir and “Overcoming”

  • Summary

  • Misogynoir is the intersection of anti-Black racism and misogyny and is important because (white) feminism fails to include the needs of marginalized women, including racialized women, disabled women, and trans women. Because Black women are so devalued, they are the least well paid demographic despite also being the most highly educated demographic. Our society was made by and for rich cis-het white men and Black women can see things so much differently because their personhood or needs were not considered and they can generally see the system as it is. We'll also look at the disadvantages of societal scripts that praise Black women for "being strong" and "overcoming" so much.
