'One of the great social historians of our time. No one else makes
history this fun' Amanda Foreman 'How Was It For You? subtly but
powerfully subverts complacent male assumptions about a legendary
decade' David Kynaston -------------------------------- "A feeling
that we could do whatever we liked swept through us in the 60s . .
." The sixties: a decade of space travel, utopian dreams and -
above all - sexual revolution. It liberated a generation. But
mostly men. Meet dollybird Mavis, debutante Kristina, bunny girl
Patsy, industrial campaigner Mary and countercultural Caroline.
From Carnaby Street to Merseyside, white gloves to Black is
Beautiful, their stories illustrate a turbulent power struggle,
throwing an unsparing spotlight on morals, drugs, race, bomb
culture and sex. This is a moving, shocking book about tearing up
the world and starting again. It's about peace, love and
psychedelia, but also misogyny, violation and discrimination, in a
decade discovering a new cause: equality. And women would never be
the same again. -------------------------------- 'Sparkling . . .
there is a wonderfully diverse range of voices . . . we have a long
way to go, but reading this book made me grateful for how far we
have come' Daisy Goodwin, The Sunday Times 'An absorbing study of
an extraordinary age. Beautifully written and intensively
researched' Selina Hastings
