Third World feminist and transnational feminists criticize intersectionality as a concept emanating from WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic) societies that unduly universalizes women's experiences. Third world feminists have worked to revise the Western conceptualization of intersectionality that assumes that all women experience the same type of gender-based oppression. Third world and transnational feminist point out that women's experiences of oppression as additionally impacted by economic exploitation, social hierarchies, imperialism, and colonialism associated with globalization. Shelly Grabe coined the term "transnational intersectionality," that expanded intersectionality to include global historical, sociopolitical, human rights, nationhood, economic, and political forces to the equation of how oppressive contexts are interconnected. Grabe and Else-Quest (2012) labeled this term "transnational intersectionality."
