This chapter illustrates what we understand about intersectionality in employment for Black disabled women. Independence and employment have been central concerns of the feminist movement and we know disabled women have difficulties finding employment, can be under-employed, work in low-skilled, flexible and part-time jobs but intersectionality has not always been interrogated, when making sense of women’s experiences. In the literature on disabled women in employment, there has been very little interrogation of ‘race’ or inclusion of intersectional research and even less on women with invisible disabilities. This chapter gives an overview of those issues.

摘要

This chapter illustrates what we understand about intersectionality in employment for Black disabled women. Independence and employment have been central concerns of the feminist movement and we know disabled women have difficulties finding employment, can be under-employed, work in low-skilled, flexible and part-time jobs but intersectionality has not always been interrogated, when making sense of women’s experiences. In the literature on disabled women in employment, there has been very little interrogation of ‘race’ or inclusion of intersectional research and even less on women with invisible disabilities. This chapter gives an overview of those issues.
