=== Asian-American activism === Adrienne Ann Winans and [[Judy Tzu-Chun Wu]] argue that "othered" groups, such as racial minorities, suffer from poor job prospects because of their "designat[ion] as outsiders."<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Widans |first1=Adrienne Ann |title=The Oxford Handbook of Asian American History |last2=Tzu-Chun Wu |first2=Judy |author-link2=Judy Tzu-Chun Wu |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2016 |isbn=9780190614034 |location=New York |pages=470β483 |chapter=Not Adding and Stirring: Women's, Gender, and Sexuality History and the Transformation of Asian America |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uXleCwAAQBAJ&q=critique+of+triple+oppression&pg=PT580}}</ref> Groups marginalized by legal status and patriarchal values often find only low-paying work with little to no benefits or [[job security]]. Poor employment opportunities contribute to an [[Intersectionality|intersectional]] subordination that includes [[Citizenship|legal status]], gender, and race. Asian-American women's organizational efforts in the 1960s and 1970s to counter such phenomena proved to facilitate them. According to Winans and Wu, female activists recognized a bias within their own activism circles which "relied on female labor but privileged male leadership." Other manifestations of triple oppression in the Asian-American community are the exploitation of immigrant female workers, and gender roles that prescribe a duty to the "double shift." Within the double shift, women are expected to not only procreate but also rear the products of their unions ''and'' contribute to the work force at the same time, a feat not demanded of their male counterparts.
