the group’s purpose and politics grew and developed over time – not without internal conflict and dissent. members came from differing class backgrounds and political stances. some were of the left, others emerging feminists. the group's feminist practice was reflected in their tactics of working as a small group outside of institutions like academia. they worked on bringing personal and domestic issues into the public sphere. they would meet in each other's homes. the dynamic of the group is documented in liz heron’s article, "who’s still holding the camera?" in "photography politics:one". one of the aims of the group was to uncover what was hidden (hence ‘flashers’). this was true of the many images of women at work (rarely recorded at the time) in the first exhibition and the complications of juggling childcare and work in the second. the works were conceived as campaigning and educational.
