Third World Women's Alliance

[1] It aimed at ending capitalism, racism, imperialism, and sexism and was one of the earliest groups advocating for an intersectional approach to women's oppression.

Members of the TWWA argued that women of color faced a "triple jeopardy" of race, gender, and class oppression.

[2] Though the organization's roots lay in the black civil rights movement, it soon broadened its focus to include women of color in the US and developing nations.

[3] These groups were formed due to inadequate acceptance in white feminist spaces and the dismissal of women's issues in the black movements of the time.

[5] The TWWA had West and East Coast branches that focused on different activities and components of the third-world feminist movement.

The TWWA went to march alongside all the different factions of the feminist movement and were turned away because they carried a banner with the phrase "Free Angela Davis."

In 1971, the New York chapter began publishing the TWWA newspaper Triple Jeopardy, to stress the ideological connections between capitalist exploitation, global imperialism, and the oppression of women of color.

"[12] Each newspaper cover was printed with the title Triple Jeopardy: Racism, Imperialism, Sexism and included the TWWA emblem of the Venus symbol with a rifle piercing through it.

The newspapers were put out monthly to raise awareness for problems such as sterilization abuse of Chicana women, colonialism in Puerto Rico, labor unionization, mass incarceration, and many other intersectional issues.
