I've kept journals since I was a teenager, the usual angst... more recently, when I need to work through an ethical problem. In the 1970s and 80s, women's autobiographical writing was a significant part of my work with Honno, the Welsh Women's Press, and many of my academic friends were editing similar books, bring women's history to the fore.

Their perceptions of the political current were truly eye-opening.
