The name W.I.T.C.H. is an acronym for Women?s International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell. The activities of the group were mainly guerilla theatre (a mixture of street theatre and protest). W.I.T.C.H members chanted hexes to elaborate the political and economic problems they saw in the companies which they protested against. In December of 1968 W.I.T.C.H targeted both the House Unamerican Activities Committee and the Chicago Eight for portraying the "leaders" of the antiwar movement as exclusively men.
