missiles are now in britain. it was earlier this morning at greenham common raf base in berkshire that a united states starlifter landed with its cargo of missiles. the women's peace camp . at greenham also represents the disquieting voicel of rebellious women, a sisterhood of dissent. ann pettitt was one | of the women who'd started the whole thing. we decided to call it a peace camp and decided to stay, asking for a public debate between everybody in this country about the siting of cruise missiles. decisions about nuclear weapons and about military things in general, they're all taken by men, just seems right that it should be women. at that point in 1981, we had two children. we moved here to west wales because we wanted to run a smallholding, grow vegetables. the possibility that the cold war would escalate into a nuclear war began to seem more and more likely.
