ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the 1808 novel, The Woman of Colour, as a case study for arguing that more nuanced readings of domestic fiction can be made when characters, contexts, and spaces are understood through the lens of intersectionality. Adopting intersectionality as the theoretical framework for The Woman of Colour demonstrates that characters could be read through their multiple identities at once (gender, race, class, etc.) and in doing so, the reader can recognize the limitations a strict feminist reading of domestic fiction provides.
