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!
Mary was interviewed by Jessica Layton in 2019.

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.
The Muswell Hill Women were interviewed by Rebecca Mordan in 2019.

Penny was drawn to Greenham by the thought of women being there on their own, shouldering the responsibility of taking on the world. 'It was a call to all of us, which is why I became active.' She recalls the strong women of Bristol taking part in Non-Violent Direct Action and supporting women living at the camp. She remembers Joan Baez visiting, a truck ploughing through the benders, the Greenham Common Newsletter and how, ultimately, 'The women always won.'
Penny 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 Tanya.
Tanya is based in Nottingham and has been a theatre maker since her early twenties. At that age she also arrived at Greenham, already a politically minded person. She came to mostly spend her time at Green Gate in the forest, and at the 'London House' in Petherton Road, a sort of halfway house run by Greenham Women, with no heating or electricity. She spent time at Greenham as a pregnant woman and with an infant, and she speaks about what this meant to her. Tanya also speaks with great passion and detail about the creativity and spiritual experience of the actions, including the raising of the dragon, and keening. She focusses on her particular story, while reflecting on the wider consciousness of the group of women, and the shedding and sharing of values.
Tanya was interviewed by Alice Robinson in 2019.

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording and a photograph of Voz.
Being an activist means becoming troublesome, defying authority and facing both the fears and consequences of taking action. Listen to Voz Faragher relate her experiences of staring the police in the face; hear her describe how it felt to be manhandled, to face the courts and spend the night in jail. But more than that, listen to her tell just how the support and energy of women united strengthened her courage and inspired her to become a lifelong advocate for the vulnerable and oppressed.
Voz was interviewed by Elaine Ruth White in 2019.
