=== Jane Crow === [[Pauli Murray]] coined the term Jane Crow in 1947 to highlight that gender-based oppression, drawn from her own experiences at Howard University.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web |title=Pauli Murray - Americans Who Tell The Truth |url=https://americanswhotellthetruth.org/portraits/pauli-murray/ |access-date=2024-11-02 |website=americanswhotellthetruth.org |language=en-US}}</ref> Jane Crow was coined as a metaphor for the [[Jim Crow laws]], which were state and local regulations enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that enforced racial segregation and targeted African Americans.<ref>{{Cite book |last=David K. Fremon |url=https://archive.org/details/jimcrowlawsracis00frem |title=Jim Crow laws and racism in American history |date=2000 |publisher=Enslow Publishers |others=Internet Archive |isbn=978-0-7660-1297-4}}</ref> While Jim Crow referred to race-based discrimination, Jane Crow highlighted the gender-based oppression that Black women faced, underscoring the dual challenges of racial and gender discrimination. Murray used this similarity of name between Jim Crow and Jane to emphasize that both had a similar harmful impact on Black women despite the differences in names, highlighting the intertwined nature of both forms of oppression.<ref name=":8" />
