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

Wrestling was the first time I thought, 'My leg is the thing that functions in this way to do this move, to get from A to B.' Instead of, like, 'My body's purpose is to suck it in so the male showrunner thinks it's attractive.'
