Previously undocumented testimonies telling stories of love, laughter, adventure and activism from the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp.
The significance of the Greenham Common Peace Camp is largely overlooked now, but it was one of the longest political demonstrations in history. Established in 1981 when 36 women from Cardiff marched to an RAF base in Berkshire to protest against nuclear weapons it grew exponentially despite being dismissed as 'an eccentricity' by Thatcher in 1983 it was to last for twenty years.
Across those two decades the women of the camp experimented with new ways of living, organising and effecting change; they pioneered nonviolent direct action, exemplified by the 'Embrace the Base' campaign where 30,000 women were mobilised via chain letter to encircle the base in peaceful protest. The numbers of women, methods and makeup of the camp ebbed and flowed but a singularity of purpose remained.
