Description
I wrote these diaries from the 1960s include my time at greenham,early women’s groups,then my daughters birth in the 1970s,living in communes,becoming a lesbian separatist ,moving to Scotland to set up a women’s community,disastrous ending of that,nearly losing my daughter,and my mind,moving back to England,to Todmorden buying my first house and doing it up with the women there,falling out with them over class issues,becoming a therapist,moving to derbyshire so my daughter could go to a Steiner school here,then moving to Belper,where I have now lived for 30 years.I am going to become a grand mother in September.I recon that qualifies me for doing it all,in terms of feminism when I was young.Though I do think earlier diaries would be interesting in terms of where I came from before that,and why I went so wholeheartedly into the politics of that time.I was bought up in Cambridge and my parents were left wing,and involved in local activities,very middle class,but rebels in some ways themselves.So my background does inform my life as a feminist too.Hope that explains enough?l Key words Feminism, hippy, Greenham, alternative communities, Lesbian and artist
