| Zusammenfassung: | The essay applies Iris Marion Young's discussion of marginalization as a form of
oppression suffered differentially by specific social groups, in relation to women with
disabilities. It draws on Young's frame, which desegregates 'oppression', taking it away
from theories overarching and systematic structures of racism for example, or patriarchy,
presenting instead the concept of oppressed groups as overlapping rather than distinct,
and of oppression as multiplex and differentially affecting different social groups. The
essay considers women with disabilities in terms of their vulnerability to marginalization,
one of Young's five types of oppression. |
