In 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. They formed what became the Greenham
Common Women's Peace Camp and stayed there for almost twenty years,
in what would become the largest, most effective woman-led protest
since the Suffrage campaign. Out of the Darkness reunites the women
of Greenham to share their recollections of the highs and lows of
camp life, explore how they organised, and uncover the 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. This book celebrates the Greenham pioneers
of peaceful protest and hopes to inspire a new generation of
activists.
