From Wikipedia: Initially, the TWWA was known as the Black Women's Liberation Committee (BWLC) and was created by black women within the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), including Frances Beal, in 1968.[4] The BWLC then became the Black Women's Alliance (BWA) when it became independent from SNCC. The BWA approached the problems that black women were facing with an intersectional lens. They focused on the fact that they experienced different oppression than black men because of their intersectional identity. The BWA found that other women of color, specifically Puerto Rican women, were experiencing this oppression, later coined "triple jeopardy." The BWA was finally transformed in 1970, and the Third World Women's Alliance was officially established. 

The Third World Women's Alliance (TWWA) was a revolutionary socialist organization for women of color active in the United States from 1968 to 1980. 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.
