Abstract

Intersectionality has so far been used as a framework to combat the universalist features of Western feminism. An intersectional lens has been used to bring to light the multiple oppressions that women face, which does not solely focus upon gender, but also includes: race, ethnicity, nationality, etc. This research will expand on this theory to demonstrate that an intersectional framework can also show how women have reclaimed their agency within feminist activism. Within the case study of Catalonia, feminist independentist organizations have been examined in order to see how the intersections between gender, nationalism and religion are present within their activism. As the Nationalist-Catholic Franco regime had a severe impact upon the local and historical context of Catalonia, this study will show how these concepts are interrelated and how this has shaped the multiple oppressions that Catalan women face. Besides, it will elaborate upon how this resulted in a more mobilized and intersectional form of feminism. Also, by applying an intersectional lens to study these women, the limitations and frictions that this new form of feminism entails have been examined.
