Women's International Resource Exchange (WIRE)
Women’s International Resource Exchange (WIRE) was an American feminist non-profit organization.
History[edit]
Established in 1979, WIRE provided resources and information about, by, and for women from developing countries.[1] They reprinted and distributed essays, journals, and articles about the struggles and achievements of Third World feminism. It was WIRE’s belief that confronting sexism, racism, and classism in the United States required an understanding of women’s struggles and gains in a global context.[2]
On an order form for WIRE Service, the organization stated:
WIRE Service was created to reproduce published and unpublished accounts and analyses by and about women in the Third World and make them available inexpensively to everyone needing such information: feminist groups, church-based women’s groups, trade union-affiliated women, women’s studies departments, as well as human rights, Third World support, and anti-imperialist solidarity groups.[1]
Contributors[edit]
Known contributors of the WIRE Collective include Joanna Gajardo, Marie Jenson, June Makela, Mariana Miller-D’Alessandro, Bobbye Ortiz, and Sybil Wong.[3][4]
Works[edit]
Some of WIRE’s published works include Nicaraguan Women: Unlearning the Alphabet of Submission (1985), We Continue Forever: Sorrow and Strength of Guatemalan Women (1983), and Women in the Rebel Tradition: The English-Speaking Caribbean.
