Emma DeGraffenreid

Emma DeGraffenreid was a black woman who sued General Motors citing discrimination on two accounts, race and sex in DeGraffenreid v. General Motors[1] along with Brenda Hines, Alberta Chapman, Brenda Hollis and Patricia Bell, all of whom were employees of the GM plant located in St. Louis.[2]

The case DeGraffenreid v. General Motors is often referenced by Kimberlé Crenshaw[3] in order to illustrate the term "intersectionality".
