Mary Woodvine interviewed by Jessica Layton

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording.
Mary visited Greenham when she was 16/17 around 1984/85. Mary visited just for 1 day and was there for the 'Embrace the Brace'. She remembers the fear surrounding nuclear weapons at the time and was apprehensive about visiting Greenham but then felt a sense of invincibility and togetherness with the other women there and genuinely felt that she could make a difference. Mary remembers one of the songs and gives us a rendition of it for us!

On 18th Dec 2013, I had my graduation ceremony from LSE, officially holding my degree in MSc in Gender, Development and Globalisation. The degree is very rare for a man, male person, heterosexual feminist man, diversity-oriented gender studier, who is from Busan, South Korea, however, I am so proud of my achievement and time that I could spend with most wonderful women and men, human beings, friends and colleagues from Gender Institute and other departments at LSE. Although it was just one year, I loved it so much so that I had to bring someone who I love with me for my graduation day. It was my mom. She was sitting at the very front seat while I was shaking hands with the then Dean of the School, David Calhoun. So much great memory and a sweet end of the time, which will last forever and ever. Thank you very much, LSE, for being always the smallest but most beutiful part of my life. Thank you.

Muswell Hill Women interviewed by Rebecca Mordan

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording and a photograph of the Muswell Hill Women.
The 'Muswell Hill Women' were active members of a local CND group who went to Greenham to do night-watches, make food, raise money and bring equipment, especially waterproofs, to the women who lived at Greenham. They designed, made and sold their own badges and carried Greenham home to their local communities. They talk about their admiration for the women who gave up their lives to live at the camp, the strength of women-only protest and the importance of Greenham as a location to focus anti-nuclear action. They are clear that Greenham has much to teach young people today about protesting against the power of the State in a way that is non-violent.

My New Friend

Submitted by: Grace Oswald
Date: February 2021
Location: Queen's Hospital, Romford

I usually work part time as a Healthcare Assistant in the Emergency Department. This photo was taken during my first ITU shift earlier this year- it was a night shift and I was already nervous to be working in a new area. I had the fright of my life (and actually screamed) when I switched on the light in the store room and found this disfigured hospital training doll. It was very funny and certainly made my new team laugh. I think it has now become a running joke to play on new staff- she seems to pop up everywhere!
