Featuring vital firsthand testimonies from women of all walks of
life from important points in history, and giving an intimate
portrayal of real women's lives in different eras, this book looks
at the 1950s and 1960s. Like many other aspects of life, education
in these decades for most girls still meant segregation, not just
by gender but also by age. Grammar school set a girl up for life,
while secondary modern meant a girl was one of the workers. Many
women still lost their jobs upon marriage and certainly lost them
if they became unmarried mothers. But the '50s and '60s also
brought rock-n-roll, rising hemlines, and the first signs of female
emancipation since the vote. Moving, funny, brave and, at times,
deeply shocking, this anthology brings together a dazzling
collection of experiences female writers, focusing on everyday life
during this transformative period.
