'Rebel Dykes' is a retrospective term to describe a raucous, unapologetic community of activist, sex-positive lesbians who lived on the very fringes of society in 1980s London - many of them squatting in areas such as Brixton and Peckham - and who ran riot through both the decade and city. The group's origins can be traced back to the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp of the early 1980s, which itself was a liberating feminist space and a place to explore sapphic sexuality.
