“We had to pose with towels wrapped around us, holding rubber rings, that sort of thing. The turning point came when a photographer asked us to get on a fur rug and crawl like cats. We said no, because it was sexist and disrespectful.”

English singer and songwriter

Keren Woodward is an English singer and songwriter, born in 1961, best known as a founding member of the girl group Bananarama. With Sara Dallin and Siobhan Fahey, she helped form the group in 1979, and she has remained one of its constant members. Bananarama reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1986 with its version of "Venus". Woodward and Dallin are the only members to have stayed with the group throughout its long history, and Woodward’s public profile is closely tied to that run of pop success.
