| | the f-word - From Greenham to Menwith: The women's peace campaign at Menwith Hill |
 | | While the military boy's games went on behind the razer wire, and trillions were being spent on weapons of mass destruction, women protested that so many die without clean water or food or medicine, that hospitals and schools were underfunded, that women's refuges had to run on charity and mourned the many killed in war. |
 | | Greenham touched so many women, not just those who went there, but so many around the world who heard about it on the news, read about it in papers and magazines. |
 | | The reasons those women at Greenham so many years ago changed their lives, gave up their jobs, lived outside in all weathers through hard times, risked prison, and dedicated their lives to peace, are no less valid now. |
