Paperback. Condizione: New. What is a Greenham woman? Any damn woman who wishes to call herself one.'What d'you need more atom bombs for? You got enough bombs to kill us all ten times Yet still you keep asking for more.'Greenham Protest SongIn 1981, a group of women marched from Cardiff to the Greenham Common RAF base in Newbury to protest the siting of US nuclear missiles on British soil. Gradually joined by women from all over the world, they formed what became the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp. They stayed there for almost twenty years, in what would become the largest, most effective woman-led protest since the Suffrage campaign - and they would radicalise a generation.Out of the Darkness reunites the trailblazing women of Greenham to share their intimate recollections of the highs and lows of camp life, explore how they organised, and uncover the clever, non-violent ways they challenged military, police and cultural forces, all in the name of peace. Whether freeing MoD geese or dancing on silos, whether composing songs to put their cases across in court or kissing in the face of advancing police, this is the story of the power of creativity, wit and courage, and the sisterhood the Greenham women created.Today, as our planet suffers increased threats from nuclear proliferation and environmental strain, this book celebrates the Greenham pioneers of peaceful protest and hopes to inspire a new generation of activists.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. 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. AUTHORS: Kate is a freelance writer, researcher and educator. She won The Pat Kavanagh Award for her up-coming historical novel and before that, she won The Jerwood Charitable Foundation's Playwright's Award. She is the Founding Editor of The Heroine Collective, an online publication with an annual readership of approximately 40k. She lives in Guildford. Rebecca has worked in television, radio and theatre. She founded Scary Little Girls in 2002 to address the underwhelming roles for, and poor treatment of, women in the mainstream arts. She has worked with CND and the Reclaim The Night march, and has appeared on 5 Live, Radio 4, LBC and Sky News. She lives in London. Drawing on a unique collection of interviews with 100 Greenham women, scores of unheard voices are gathered together for the first time in print and interwoven with an exploration of the key elements that shaped the movement. The result is a celebration of the army of women who, in liberating themselves, acted as a catalyst for change across multiple fronts and transformed the nature of protest forever. 50 illustrations Previously undocumented testimonies telling stories of love, laughter, adventure and activism from the Greenham Common Womens Peace Camp.
