'Everybody's Views Were Just Broadened': A Girls Project and Some Responses to Lesbianism
Mica Nava has a temporary job teaching sociology at Homerton College, Cambridge. She was a member of the group responsible for the organization of the project described in the article. Her uncompleted PhD is on youth work.
Many people have contributed to this piece of work in different ways. I particularly want to acknowledge my indebtedness to Sue Crockford, Ann, Anna, Antonella, Jamie, Hermine, Rebecca, the organising group of the Girls' Project, and Beryl and the Perils, without whom there would have been nothing to write. Very special thanks to Clara Mulher, Angela McRobbie, Suzy Oboler and Diana Leonard for their support and comments.
A note of interest to end up with: I worked on this article on and off for over a year and a half, and it was only as I was typing out the final clean copy that I realised the two fictional names I had given the mothers in the story were virtually those of my own mother, Anna Margareta!
