Black Power and revolutionary icon of the seventies, Angela Davis is a key figure in activism and feminism who is still engaged in the battle for social justice. This article aims to outline this radical intellectual’s place in American Black feminism. Indeed, Angela Davis has been more apt to define herself as a Black revolutionary or a Communist than as a « Black feminist ». Nevertheless, her writings, inextricably tied to her struggles, have participated in the affirmation of Black feminism, which we demonstrate by analyzing her autobiography and her research on Black women. Davis has been a source of inspiration for the Black Feminist movement and has contributed to it through her revolutionary activism and by leading the way with an intersectional praxis, an approach that she continues to defend against « bourgeois » feminism. Nonetheless, she also goes beyond Black feminism to a certain extent, by being at the cutting edge of a revolutionary radical and internationalist feminism movement, which has been called « abolitionist » (in reference to carceral abolitionism).
