Description: Wanstead and Woodford Women for Peace (WWWP) were an offshoot of the local branch of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). The group protested at Greenham Common peace camp and organised local events centred on the Anti Air Warfare Memorial at Woodford Green commissioned by Sylvia Pankhurst in 1935. This film is a record of a Conference the WWWP organised on Women and Health at the Quaker Meeting House in Leytonstone, 27 September 1986 in the International Year of Peace. There were three speakers: in the Chair, Carole Tongue, MEP; Jo Spence, a radical photographer who spoke of her experiences as a cancer sufferer, and whose photographic exhibition, A Picture of Health (based on her own experience of the NHS) surrounded the audience. Her political, personal and photographic autobiography is called Putting Myself in the Picture, published by Camden Press in 1986. The third speaker was Wilmette Brown, a Black American (another cancer survivor) from the Wages for Housework Campaign, who emphasised the link between environmental pollution and health. The Wanstead and Women for Peace archive is deposited at Redbridge Museum & Heritage Centre.
