Four-Star Feminists is a profile gallery showcasing six Chicagoland feminists making intersectionality a priority. Intersectionality, as it relates to feminism, recognizes that many people experience multi-faceted discrimination, as related to race, gender, sexuality, etc. As the current administration dismantles LGBTQ+ protections, intersectional feminists are more important now than ever.
Without further ado— meet the women making change in the Windy City.
