Abstract
Using an intersectional approach, this analysis seeks to provide an explanation of female criminality that is grounded in an intimate understanding of the multiplicative, overlapping, and cumulative effects of the simultaneous intersections of systems of oppression emanating from power structures that uniquely shape their life experiences. The concept of doing identity is introduced to describe the unique attempts of individuals, particularly marginalized women, to navigate through power structures and multiple systems of oppression that shape their life experiences. A case study exploring factors contributing to one woman’s decision to engage in criminal activity as a means of doing identity is also presented.
