Organising the 1978 Women's Lib Conference
1978
Trisha got involved in organising the April 1978 national Women's Liberation Conference, held in Birmingham. This was a significant point in her feminist development.
At the time, she was living in a house with five men, one of whom she was having a relationship with. “We opened the house to women to stay during the conference, and had a load of Australian cowgirls staying, all of whom were lesbians, they didn’t speak to the men, just took cups of tea off them, complained that there wasn’t enough room, but as I was sleeping under the kitchen sink I wasn’t that impressed!”
