Every closed nonorientable 3-manifold M can be obtained as the union of three orientable handlebodies V1, V2, V3 whose interiors are pairwise disjoint. If g(i) denotes the genus of V(i), g1 less-than-or-equal-to g2 less-than-or-equal-to g3, we say that M has tri-genus (g1, g2, g3), if in terms of lexicographical ordering, the triple (g1, g2, g3) is minimal among all such decompositions of M into orientable handlebodies. We relate the tri-genus of M to the genus of a surface that represents the dual of the first Stiefel-Whitney class of M. This is used to determine g1 and g2.
