Double Jeopardy: To Be Black and Female
Book •
Frances Beale's 'Double Jeopardy' is an influential essay (often cited from 1969) that explores how Black women experience intersecting forms of oppression based on race and gender.
The podcast refers to it as central to understanding the dual burdens Black women face within both the civil rights and women's movements.
Beale's critique helped lay groundwork for later intersectionality theory by showing how singular-framework activism often overlooked Black women's specific struggles.
The piece remains widely cited in feminist and race studies for its prescient analysis of overlapping systems of domination.
