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.
