 * Groups origins
 * As the exhibit was the first focusing on the Black woman's perspective, there was pressure to construct a feminine aesthetic within the Black American art vernacular. They were very conscious of the inherent overlap of Black and female identities.
 * Though they were often excluded from important conversations around Black Liberation and were subjected to misogyny by their peers who were Black men, they still often felt a stronger allegiance to the Black arts movement over the existing and predominately White feminist art movement.
 * Work in prisons, hospitals, and low-income areas
 * WWA sometimes worked in conjunction with Women and Student Artists For Black Art Liberation, an organization that often worked out of Riker Island prison systems.
 * Newspaper coverage the year after (pg. 26)
