Crenshaw's theoretical framework of intersectional feminism. Writing as a Black feminist legal scholar, Crenshaw's framework is dedicated to illuminating the different kinds of violence that women of colour experience, but it has become an indispensable analytic tool for feminist art historians concerned not only with gender, but also with race, class, and sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrated with over thirty-five images, \u003ci\u003eIntersecting Threads\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the overlaps amongst the political concerns of 20th- and 21st-century  feminist artists and reveals the power of textiles in the context of ongoing racism and misogyny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJulia Skelly\u003c\/b\u003e is a specialist in nineteenth-century British art and visual culture, contemporary feminist art, textiles, excess, decadence, and addiction.
