Nice surprise to see my article on Capenhurst Women’s Peace Camp is out today - have a read if interested in space, the weirdness of the Wirral, local feminisms and anti-nuclear activism in Merseyside, and global solidarity movements in the 1980s academic.oup.com/tcbh/article...

Superb article by @racheljcollett.bsky.social in @mbhjournal.bsky.social, recovering the Capenhurst Women's Peace Camp. Fascinating case study of 1980s anti-nuclear feminism on the Wirral peninsula, and the surprising connections to the Namibian freedom struggle. academic.oup.com/tcbh/article...
