TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to the EdTechWomen Meet Up!
We are a networked community for women's leadership in
education technology. We are business experts, technologists,
designers, and educators working to support the development of
women's leadership capacity and opportunity in education
technology.
Our mission is to increase the leadership capacity of women in
education technology through inclusivity, visibility, and impact.
This is our annual facilitated networking discussion at SXSWedu!

Last year we talked about what equality looks like for women in our industry.
A year later, regardless of where you stand politically, to achieve that equality, intersectionality in the women’s rights movement can no longer be ignored.
Today we are going to talk about that intersectionality.
"Intersectionality simply means that there are lots of
different parts to our womanhood, and those parts —
race, gender, sexuality, and religion, and ability — are not
incidental or auxiliary. They matter politically."
— Brittney Cooper, Rutgers University

Today we are going to talk about intersectionality.
An intersectional feminist movement ensures that the cries of all women are
heard and that their demands are met. It recognizes that the oppression of
women is not solely rooted in sexism but all types of “isms.” For example black
women face unique challenges pertaining to their race and gender that white
women do not face. LGBTQIA identifying women face different challenges than
straight women. Women who encompass more than one identity face
increased oppression.
