摘要

摘要本文探讨了激进组织“地球上的生命女性”（WFLOE）如何试图说服苏联放弃核武器。文章发现，WFLOE开始了一场由女性领导的运动，并与苏联的非官方活动家和普通民众接触，游说苏联政府解除武装。WFLOE以“格林汉姆妇女”而闻名，这有助于他们宣传自己的海外行动主义，并试图通过反对苏联核武器的运动来挑战英国和平活动家的主要代表。然而，这一成功是有限的，因为冷战保持了英国媒体的主导地位，而WFLOE只有在给苏联带来尴尬时才获得正面报道。

From Greenham common to red square: women for life on earth and cross-bloc activism in the 1980s

ABSTRACT This article examines how the activist group Women for Life on Earth (WFLOE) attempted to persuade the USSR to ditch their nuclear weapons. The article finds that WFLOE began a women-led campaign and engaged with unofficial activists and ordinary people in the USSR to lobby the Soviet government to disarm. WFLOE’s fame as ‘Greenham Women’ helped them to publicise their overseas activism and they attempted to challenge predominant representations of peace campaigners in the UK by campaigning against Soviet nuclear weapons. However, this success was limited with the Cold War maintaining primacy for the British press and WFLOE only gaining positive coverage when they caused embarrassment to the Soviets.

期刊介绍： Contemporary British History offers innovative new research on any aspect of British history - foreign, Commonwealth, political, social, cultural or economic - dealing with the period since the First World War. The editors welcome work which involves cross-disciplinary insights, as the journal seeks to reflect the work of all those interested in the recent past in Britain, whatever their subject specialism. Work which places contemporary Britain within a comparative (whether historical or international) context is also encouraged. In addition to articles, the journal regularly features interviews and profiles, archive reports, and a substantial review section.
