Gender and intersectionality in political marketing

Minita Sanghvi

pp. 61-100

This chapter contributes an important yet overlooked aspect of gender and political marketing, which is intersectionality. The chapter starts with a theoretical understanding of intersectionality and its roots, as well as modern-day scholarship in marketing. Subsequently, an extended case analysis of Shirley Chisholm's 1972 presidential bid helps provide an understanding of intersectionality in political marketing. Finally, the chapter focuses on four main aspects of intersectionality in political marketing, which are a) gender and race, b) ageism, c) fattism, and, d) sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
