the feminist librarian reads

Indigenous women and women of color have a very rich history of understanding intersectionality well before it became a framework. In 1994, a room full of women of color worked on naming the specific injustices we all face on a daily basis, focusing specifically on creating a framework that would move us beyond the traditional pro-choice narrative and into the reality of our lived experiences as a rich, nuanced, and intersectional community. As a movement, we honor the Black women who named this groundbreaking shift as reproductive justice (RJ), especially as we at SisterSong prepare to celebrate the 20th anniversary this fall.
