Synopsis
''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

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The real story of women in the 1960s: Flower Power, the Pill, Miniskirts . . . Tupperware and ideal homesTurn the page back to the 1960s, a decade whose radiant light-show seemed to shower everything it touched with stardust: in the midst of Beatlemania, Penguin Books are found 'Not Guilty' in the Lady Chatterley trial, Mary Quant introduces the mini-skirt, and the Pill becomes available on the NHS. Time magazine coins the phrase 'Swinging London', the first female High Court Judge is appointed and abortion is legalized.But did the world really change for women? And what did the women of the 60s ultimately take away from a youth supposedly given over to sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll? This book is an act of homage and a journey for those engaging in similar questions today. How Was It For You? reconstructs the real 1960s, through the eyes of the women who lived it. From Floella Benjamin and Pattie Boyd to ordinary, remarkable women, this is their story. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
