Abstract
This article explores the consequences of class exploitation, racial discrimination, and gender subordination on the health and well-being of working-class and middle-stratum women in Harlem. It argues that an intersectional approach, examining the simultaneous interaction of race, class, and gender, tells more about racial disparities than do explanatory paradigms of biological race and lifestyle choices.
