Liz Beech interviewed by Leslie Lyle

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording and a photograph of Liz.
'I went to Greenham because I was given an electric kettle for my 40th birthday by my mother!' Liz took a bus to 'Embrace the base' in 1982 with a Glastonbury women's group and consequently lived at Yellow Gate from 1983 to 1987. She thought this was with her husband's support, saying the men's role was to keep 'the home fires burning'. However, she lost custody of her two children, with Greenham being cited as the reason, almost definitely as part of a political strategy to scare other mothers at the camp. Liz says that she was much less afraid of life than before she went.
Liz was interviewed by Leslie Lyle in 2019.

Lynette Edwell interviewed by Kate Kerrow

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording.
Lynette was a crucial figure at Greenham and ran the Greenham office from her house (where this interview was conducted). As the key administrator for the campaign, she was the person who triggered the telephone tree, and watched for cruise missiles. She gave space to the Greenham women in her home, letting them use it for phone calls and administration, as well as showers, childcare and long discussions on politics and feminism. As a journalist, she wrote press releases trying to get proper media representation and helped the women with paperwork related to court appeals. As a key player in the whole campaign, Lynette was arrested many times, herself experiencing physical assault. This is the fascinating story of one of the key brains behind the campaign. She was a key presence at Orange Gate from the beginning until Cruise left.
Lynette was interviewed by Kate Kerrow in 2019.

Maggie Parks interviewed by Elaine Ruth White

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording and a photograph of Maggie.
In telling her story of living at the Greenham camp, Maggie Parks illustrates the power of the experience to inspire and uplift. Finding Greenham at the time of her beloved father's death at 58 years old, Maggie allowed the energy and love at the camp to swell into the void and become a vital part of something as powerful as her grief. Very much a personal life story, Maggie describes how the experience and energy has stayed with her in a lifelong career supporting and protecting women against violence.

Tamsin answered a call for women to go to Greenham Peace Camp. She arrived in 1983 with her 2-year-old daughter and although she started at Blue Gate, she and others with children decided to re-establish Red Gate. Tamsin talks about how she went to Greenham to save herself, to discover her people and how amazing it felt to be able to be herself and discuss any issues without being judged. Tamsin's story is one of great personal discovery, a legacy that she has taken into the rest of her life: 'I went to Greenham and I wasn't mad anymore, I was normal'.

Carole Stuart-McIvor interviewed by Vanessa Pini

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording and a photograph of Carole.
Carole first went to Greenham in protest against the rainbow bomb in 1961/62 after coming out of care at the age of 16. She got arrested and spent a week in Holloway Prison alongside Helen Allegranza and Pat Arrowsmith. Years later, she returned on Christmas Eve, 1982 and talks about the guilt she felt for leaving her kids and mum. She recalls breaking into the base and dancing on the silos on New Year's Day, the incredible barrister Liz Woodcraft representing them in court, hitting her head in the riot van and getting concussed and her second stint in Holloway Prison. Carole also talks about going to a summit in Geneva with Welsh women to protest and give talks. They were deported after covering a public clock with the alternative time of '5 minutes to Midnight', graffitiing over a picture of naked woman on the wall of the police station and being choked by a police officer when caught. She feels it is important for Greenham to be remembered, as you can re-direct the traffic literally and metaphorically if you know people have done it before. Carole had a poem published in 'No Holds Barred', a collection of poems by women, chosen by The Raving Beauties.
Carole was interviewed by Vanessa Pini in April 2021.
