Anti-nuclear and peace campaigner on her passion for social justice and feminism
Eileen Daffern has spent most of her life as a peace campaigner and a leading CND activist and at the age of 93 she still holds regular political meetings at her home in Brighton. She was born into a socially conservative family, but the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima had a huge impact on her. She has campaigned constantly against nuclear weapons, helping the Greenham Common women and attending peace conferences in Eastern Europe.
Jane talks to Eileen Daffern about her memoirs, her passion for social justice, feminism and her political activism.
