Description: 
We argue that hegemonic femininities reference a powerful location in what Patricia Hill Collins refers to as a matrix of domination, from which some women draw considerable individual benefits while shoring up collective benefits along other dimensions of advantage. In the process, they engage in intersectional domination of other women and even some men.
