Abstract

Abstract This brief challenges readers to examine the meaning, intention, and consequences of their use of the phrases “Women and Minorities” and “Women and People of Color.” I assert that the use of that language makes Women of Color invisible while unintentionally or intentionally defining White women and Men of Color as the de facto norms, thus obfuscating the lived realities of Women of Color. I provide recommendations for intersectional language and research, and guidelines for journal editors regarding expectations of intersectional scholarship.

期刊介绍： Women & Therapy is the only professional journal that focuses entirely on the complex interrelationship between women and the therapeutic experience. Devoted to descriptive, theoretical, clinical, and empirical perspectives on the topic of women and therapy, the journal is intended for feminist practitioners as well as for individuals interested in the practice of feminist therapy. The journal focuses on a wide range of content areas, including: •issues in the process of therapy with female clients •problems in living that affect women in greater proportion than men, such as depression, eating disorders, and agoraphobia •women"s traditional and nontraditional roles in society and how these affect and can be affected by therapy.
