Intersectionality is a term that is thrown into a lot of gender studies, but this work is the first I have seen that applies this construct in a consistent, logically structured fashion. . . The case studies are very well chosen, and the types of intersectional marginalization they represent open the door to many future comparative research investigations."" - Joyce Mushaben, University of Missouri-St. Louis""There is no book which provides an overview of so many different groups and intersections. It makes a unique contribution to the field."" - Liza Mügge, University of Amsterdam""A great addition not only to intersectional studies, but to the literatures on social/political/legal mobilization, and the comparative study of diversity issues . . . an excellent volume."" - Jackie Gehring, University of California, Santa Cruz
