The History of Misogynoir
I coined the term misogynoir in 2008 while working on my dissertation. I was looking at these old medical school yearbooks from the 1910s and looking at the representation of black women. And it occurred to me that there's a way that black women specifically are being targeted. So misogynoir is a way to describe the anti-black racist misogyny that black women experience.
