Last month we launched the official HOWL Friends Scheme.

We have already achieved a lot with very little money and have relied enormously on goodwill and voluntary labour.

Your support will help to secure HOWL's future and allow us to continue our vital work. Thank you!

Can any of our followers help with this?
@howl2025.bsky.social Hey! I'm looking for someone who delivered food supplies to the Greenham Common peace camp who might be up for doing an oral history intv. I don't suppose you have come across anyone like this? I know there were people who volunteered to do this.

The first article of this new month is 'Some Thoughts in the Night' by the late Ellen Malos, introduced by Janet Brewer.

"This piece below shows Ellen’s optimism, her determination and her endless capacity for listening to both sides of any story."

Today's article is 'Lesbians travelling before the internet – Gaia’s Guide and Women Going Places' by Helen Bishop.

"Our aim was to offer something cheaper than hotels or standard B&Bs, an affordable place for feminists and lesbians to stay in London. And for us to meet women from other countries."
