What is Black feminism?
{{nosources|date=February 2022}} '''Black feminism''' is a type of [[feminism]]. Black feminists believe that [[sexism]] and racism are bound together. This is called [[intersectionality]]. Black feminism exists because the [[racism]] that black women experience is not adequately addressed by the mainstream feminist movement, which is led by white [[middle-class]] women. In 1973 the National Black Feminist Organization was started. [[Alice Walker]] was the first person to use the word [[womanism]] in 1979. Womanism is a black feminist [[theory]]. [[Patricia Hill Collins]]'s 1991 book ''Black Feminist Thought'' is one of the most well-known books about black feminism. [[Category:African-American history]] [[Category:Feminism]] {{stub}}
