Formaron parte de él artistas como Dindga McCannon, Kay Brown, Faith Ringgold, Carol Blank, Jerri Crooks, Charlotte Kâ (Richardson) o Gylbert Coker. WWA se formó en la primavera de 1971, a raíz de una exposición del mismo nombre organizada por 14 mujeres artistas negras en la Galería Acts of Art del Greenwich Village de Nueva York. Temas como la unidad de la comunidad negra, las relaciones entre hombres y mujeres negras, las condiciones sociales contemporáneas y las tradiciones africanas fueron fundamentales para el trabajo de las artistas de la WWA. El grupo tenía la intención de provocar el empoderamiento de las mujeres afroamericanas, proporcionándoles un medio para autorrepresentarse, así como explorar la sensibilidad y estética de las mujeres negras. Al igual que AfriCobra, un grupo del BAM con sede en Chicago, la WWA participó activamente en el fomento del arte dentro de la comunidad afroamericana y en el uso de este como una herramienta de conciencia y liberación. Además de exposiciones, el colectivo organizó talleres en escuelas, hospitales, cárceles y centros culturales así como clases de arte para jóvenes en sus comunidades.

The group was intended to serve as a source of empowerment for African-American women, providing a means for them to control their self-representation and to explore issues of Black women's sensibility and aesthetics. Like AfriCobra, a Chicago-based Black Arts group, the WWA was active in fostering art within the African-American community and using it as a tool of awareness and liberation. The group organized workshops in schools, jails and prisons, hospitals, and cultural centers, as well as art classes for youth in their communities.
