Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The article critiques traditional feminist legal theory for its narrow view of privacy as inherently oppressive, particularly for women of color. It argues that privacy can be a source of empowerment and safety for Black women, challenging the one-size-fits-all approach of mainstream feminist theory. The author advocates for a more nuanced, intersectional perspective that considers how privacy affects different groups differently.
