printed in the 80's during the occupation of Greenham Common. Depicts women using bolt cutters to tear down the barriers analogously juxtaposed with illustrations of an episiotomy - the cutting of the perineum during childbirth. The anthropologist Mary Douglas described borders as dangerous places and those who inhabit borders - being neither 'one thing or another ' - as feared and powerful: lesbians, pregnant women, feminists.
