Audre Lorde is one of the most recognized feminist names, known for embodying intersectional feminism before we even had the discourse to describe it. Lorde is a self-described "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet" who has written extensively about dismantling racist, homophobic and sexist structures.

In relation to non-intersectional feminism in the United States, Lorde said in the her most famous work, "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House," from 1979 reads: "Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women; those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference -- those of us who are poor, who are lesbians, who are Black, who are older -- know that survival is not an academic skill. It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths. For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the master’s house as their only source of support... What does it mean when the tools of a racist patriarchy are used to examine the fruits of that same patriarchy?”
