Sex, Drugs and Cowpunk! Lucy’s Story
“I wanted to be able to say, ‘Girls can do it too. We’re on the road, we’re in a band. Of course we drink, of course we take drugs, of course we go with groupies. We can do it too.’ I was always very fierce in that we shouldn’t be excluded because of our gender.” Lucy Edwards from The Well Oiled Sisters

Confessions of a Lesbian Cliché … The U-Haul!

Surviving Abuse: Finding My Strength in Breaking My Silence
By Josie Quinn: “The more I spoke to people about it, the more I realised just how prevalent domestic abuse is in the UK.

Random Thoughts: Unexpected Guests

Welcome to Women Like Us
“We are all so different and, sadly, this divides us at times. I’m not sure why that should be when we’re united by so many common challenges.
