WE WERE THERE The Third World Women's Alliance and the Second Wave

This is an essential and accessible audio production of the Third World Women's Alliance's (TWWA) history, written by the activists themselves. From the late 1960s through the 1970s, women of color established chapters of this organization throughout the U.S., organizing and collaborating on social justice projects and civil rights issues. Narrator Jeanette Illidge infuses the women's first-person perspectives with vitality and care. In doing so, she creates the impression that their memories remain fresh and their passion and experiences are still close to their hearts and part of their post-TWWA endeavors. Illidge's well-paced delivery clearly differentiates between author Patricia Romney's sections and those of former members. Listeners will come away with a deepened understanding of second-wave feminism and its legacy. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2022]
