Let me cast my mind back if you will, it is about 25 years ago now and so my memories are pretty hazy, but I do have an uncanny memory for a story – for other people’s lives at least.
Reading this has brought me back round to what I really want to write about. In reality it’s never not in my mind. I know it’s something that needs to be written about but it feels so huge, and at a personal level, scary and overwhelming. But, this is a key year in terms of the central subject (as was last year).
These incredible women are so inspiring and I can imagine it was extraordinary to watch the Netflix drama based on their fight, having met and written about them.
I’m getting over covid (again) but my mind is busy after reading this even if my brain and body are definitely not very willing to join in …. yet 🥴 …
That’s great Jaimie, I’m glad that it has inspired you — that was what I wanted it to do. I do think that thoughts percolate for a long time and you know when the time is ready to start writing or start sharing. This time is very important, so let it last as long as it needs to.
Thanks for this Anna, it's such a great story. And hats off to the women for staying with it, and banding together. I love the way the thread is weaving in your work in terms of giving injustices airing, and women who have suffered them a voice!

Thank you Marika, you must try to watch the drama on Netflix if you can. It is excellent.
Great piece Anna.
Thanks, Ellie!
