This paper examines data collected from six focus groups of women: refugees, older women, African American women, lesbians, girls, and women with disabilities to explore the interaction of gender with other diversities. All of the groups reported an interaction between gender and their group, and the ways in which that interaction contributed to their subordinate position in society and within their population group was described.
