| Summary: | Drawing on a study of feminist self-help collectives reclaiming women’s control over knowledge about bodies and health, this article questions how the ways in which intersectionality is used in mobilisations can, paradoxically, reproduce inequalities. Feminist self-help activists claim to be committed to intersectionality and seek to translate this “intersectional” commitment into their militant practices. This article proposes to consider intersectionality as a form of militant work and argues that paying attention to how this work is appropriated or rejected, prescribed or proscribed, valued or devalued, distributed or not, enables to objectify the processes of subversion or reproduction of hierarchies within and through collective action. The analysis of the division of intersectional labour reveals that the claim of inclusivity has an ambivalent character regarding the promise of overcoming inequalities among women offered by the concept of intersectionality. |
