For most women, Greenham was a place of principle, growth and song. Often joyful, sometimes terrifying, and almost always cold.

The Internet has crept up on us, and we need to know what it is and start looking at it. We have to decide which bits we want, which bits we don't, and how we're going to use them - and how we're going to put pressure on the people who deliver these goods to deliver what we really want.
