Abstract

Drawing on intersectional feminist theory, this review interrogates maternal health disparities through lenses of gender, labor, and structural inequality, with a particular focus on South Korea. It integrates global trends with local realities to examine how socioeconomic status, digital divides, and algorithmic bias in artificial intelligence systems could compound maternal vulnerability. By critically evaluating gender gaps in nursing research and leadership, this paper advocates for the adoption of intersectionality as a foundational framework in nursing science to redress inequities and promote inclusive health care innovation.
