In 1984 the doomsday clock reached three minutes to midnight. This was the closest recorded time to global destruction, defined as imminence to nuclear war, since 1953. In 1981, 36 women calling themselves, ‘Women for Life on Earth,’ marched from South Wales to the military base at Greenham Common to protest against the positioning there of American controlled nuclear Cruise missiles.
