Abstract :
Women are one of the marginalized groups in society. As one of the most disadvantaged groups of people, women are often faced with discrimination due to their gender. Intersectionality refers to multiple forms of discrimination such as racism, sexism, and classism that intersect or combine in the experience of marginalized groups like women. Gender discrimination has an important impact on the career, identity formation, and development of women. A thorough knowledge of intersectionality and personality development connected to recognizing the influence of intersecting social identities, such as gender, race, or socioeconomic status, can significantly impact the development of one?s identity. The study employed Kimberle Crenshaw?s intersectionality theory and Erikson?s stages of development theory. Moreover, to analyze the series, this study used a qualitative descriptive research method. The information, approach, and theories are drawn from books, internet sources, online libraries, and journals. This study?s primary source is the limited series ?The Queen?s Gambit? (2020), while the secondary sources include research, books, scripts, and journals related to this study. The result of this study is that the limited series The Queen?s Gambit clearly illustrates that the inequality that Beth Harmon faced as a woman and a chess player is not only about gender but includes age, race, class, stereotypes, and appearances that intersect and impacted Beth?s complex identity formation. The study also illustrates the impact of the intersectionality of gender discrimination on Beth?s stages of development during her school age, adolescence, and young adulthood stage as both a chess player and a woman.
