Accordingly the key concepts of intersectional feminism and the role of intersectionality in children and young adult literature will be discussed more in detail. Subsequently, the second chapter will deal with the analysis of the dimensions of culture, gender and race and their role in an intersectional identity, as well as the explanation for the Latino colonial background and its effects on women¿s lives. Then, mainly focusing on the protagonist Xiomara and her mother Mami, chapter three will explore the core subjects of the construction and perception of the female body, lack of sex dialogue and sexism in the family environment, and the forms of sexual empowerment and emancipation in the story, after which the conclusions will be presented.
