Remarkably Janet hand-wrote her entire PhD thesis at Greenham during a time when there were daily evictions. She remembers it being anarchic but not chaotic, a community of women that in her words, 'Had your back'. Janet took part in many small and large actions and particularly remembers one blockade where the seated women were rushed by mounted police.
Janet was interviewed by Sarah Learmouth in 2019.

Fran became known as the woman who invited people for tea in her tipi, immortalised in the photograph of her by Edward Barber sitting in front of a large sign saying 'Hello can you stop for a talk?'
She approached local residents in town as a 'hippy in disguise' to invite them for tea at the camp. Fran was at times a signatory on the bank account, was interviewed many times, and spoke about Greenham at the UN.
Fran was interviewed by Florence Weston in 2019.

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording and a photograph of Hannah.
Hannah was at Blue Gate and starts by describing her time at Greenham as 'Fun. With a capital F. U. N.' She talks about vigilantes, her time in prison, evictions and infiltrations of the camp by one particular journalist. Her overriding memories are of the women she met, how being around women all the time created an experience that was markedly different to the mixed protests she joined afterwards and what made Greenham special to her and why it should be remembered by us all.
Hannah was interviewed by Rebecca Mordan in 2019.
She was photographed by Christine Bradshaw (copyright Christine Bradshaw).

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording.
Heather was at Greenham with her sister and remembers it as a time of innocence, where everything was possible. She talks about women being emancipated without even realising it and how the energy of the camp was about 'light, love and humour'. Heather still sings the songs and would love to meet up with other women who were at Blue Gate.
Heather was interviewed by Florence Weston in 2019.

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording and a photograph of Illona.
Illona is an actor based in London. From an early age she had strong feelings about the unfairness of class and gender roles in society, and has been involved in the peace movement since before Greenham. Illona has kept diaries throughout her life. Looking at her photos of the 'Reflect the base' action in December 1983, Illona recalls memories of this extraordinary day when she first saw Greenham. She then came back and forth from Greenham, spending most of her time at Yellow Gate. In her interview, Illona also shares a couple of the songs she remembers most vividly and at 22.40 a poem by Wendy Poussard called 'Greenham Women'.
Illona was interviewed by Alice Robinson in 2019.
She was photographed by Christine Bradshaw (copyright Christine Bradshaw).
