Out of the Darkness: Greenham Voices 1981 – 2000, October Books

Next month October Books in Portswood, Southampton, invites you to join author Rebecca Mordan for a talk about Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, her book, the organisation she founded and a few Greenham songs.

As a child Rebecca visited Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp with her mother and was part of making history with 30,000 other women and children at the Embrace the Base action 40 years ago. In 2018 she started interviewing Greenham Women to celebrate their unique role in changing women’s roles nationally and internationally, and she hasn’t stopped since, turning the project into a standalone organisation: Greenham Women Everywhere!

GWE educates about and raises awareness of the actions and impact of the peace camp and is overseen by an advisory board of Greenham Women who actively plan the organisation’s events.

Rebecca is Artistic Director of feminist production hub Scary Little Girls, which she created after graduating Sheffield University and Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and working as an actor, director, writer and producer.

The event will take place on Thursday, October 26th at 6:30pm.
