Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the broadening of feminist discourse from the idea of emancipation portrayed by Nikolai Leskov in Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District (1865) through the lenses of intersectionality in William Oldroyd’s film Lady Macbeth (2016). Although the director and the screenwriter Alice Birch do not insist on race as a pivotal theme in their work, the portrayal of black characters in roles subordinated to their white counterparts showcases the discourse on intersectionality as an important device in contemporary feminist theory.
