“Working-class wages in the United States just about flatlined from 1979 to 2017. Over that thirty-seven years, the bottom 10 percent of earners saw a 4.1 percent rise in wages. Meanwhile, economic productivity rose 70 percent. Most of the reward for that productivity was scooped up by the top 5 percent of earners, who enjoyed a 69.3 percent rise in real wages. The top 0.1 percent increased their haul by over 343 percent.”

“Intersectionality simply came from the idea that if you’re standing in the path of multiple forms of exclusion, you are likely to get hit by both. These women are injured, but when the race ambulance and the gender ambulance arrive at the scene, they see these women of color lying in the intersection and they say, ‘Well, we can’t figure out if this was just race or just sex discrimination. And unless they can show us which one it was, we can’t help them.”
