They were young, they were feminists, they were anarchists, they were punks, they were leather dykes. They lived together in squats and at Greenham Camp . They went to political demo's every Saturday, they created squatted creches and bookshops and Wild Women Weekends (a fore runner of Ladyfests), feminist newspapers and magazines, like Quim, Feminaxe and Shocking Pink. They had bands like Poison Girls and Mouth Almighty. They ran sex positive Lesbian S/M clubs such as Chain Reaction, they were trans friendly, they worked in the sex industry. They fought, they made up, they created and they loved.
