You might want to look into "third wave" feminism which involves a racial/ethnic critique of the feminism of the 60s and 70s, which was primarily in the US a feminism of upper middle class white women, necessary in a lot of ways but insufficient. In particular, look at Donna Haraway's "The Cyborg Manifesto" and also bell hooks. Or rather, especially bell hooks. hooks was born Gloria Watkins in rural Kentucky, but took the penname bell hooks to honor her grandmother. She uses the name lower case in order to signify the status of black women. Trinh T. Min-ha is another to look at.
