Available for pre-order now, with delivery anticipated in mid-July.

In the 1980s, Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp became an international focus and inspiration for the anti-nuclear, peace and women’s movements.

Janine Wiedel’s photographs and interviews made across 1983-84, juxtapose the overpowering military presence at the RAF base with an in depth look at the camp and some of the courageous and committed women who undertook non-violent direct action to resist, disrupt and end the deployment of US nuclear-armed cruise missiles.

A core group of women lived full-time in the camps around the nine-mile perimeter fence. They sustained a continuous presence over many years, facing constant surveillance, harassment, and arrest in order to bring public awareness to the threat posed by nuclear weapons.

Life at the Fence brings together Janine’s photographs of the many actions undertaken as well as giving an insight into life inside the camps.
