Misogynoir

Misogynoir is a term referring to the combined force of anti-Black racism and misogyny directed towards black women.^[1]^[2] The term was coined by black feminist writer Moya Bailey in 2008^[3] to address misogyny directed toward black transgender^[4] and cisgender women^[5] in American visual and popular culture.^[6] The concept of misogynoir is grounded in the theory of intersectionality, which analyzes how various social identities such as race, gender, class, age, ability, and sexual orientation interrelate in systems of oppression.^[7]
