Cevap
The growth of liberation movements that addressed the intersection of race, gender, and socioeconomic class.
The correct answer is correct because the Combahee River Collective Statement illustrates how the feminist and civil rights movements developed in the 1970s. Activists increasingly recognized that multiple forms of oppression (racism, sexism, heterosexism, and classism) were interconnected, leading to the growth of organizations dedicated specifically to these overlapping struggles.
