This essay will focus on two fundamental brands of feminism, namely Black feminism and Lesbian feminism. Both the theories are alive to the fact that women have, for long, been marginalized, oppressed and subjugated by an array of social, political and cultural factors. The former theory focuses on empowering black women in their struggle against the discrimination faced by virtue of class, gender and color. The latter, on the other hand, aims at giving women their unique sexual identity by challenging the enforcement of heterosexuality and making lesbianism a reality.
