Читать книгу Counseling the Contemporary Woman - Suzanne Degges-White - Страница 19

Clearly, women are not a homogenous group and are differentially affected by issues based on membership in other social identity groups. Additional cultural factors interact with gender in women’s experience, complicating the reductionist “women’s issues” label that often solely focused on the experiences of white, cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied women. Using intersectionality as a conceptual framework for understanding women’s social location and positionality allows for more comprehensive understanding of cultural identity and lived experience. Application of intersectionality lays the foundation for appropriate individual counseling and counseling advocacy that can be precisely designed for each client’s unique experience.
