Careers for Girls

Woman's Weekly / 4th July 1969

Dammit Mary, I hate it when you’re so bloody reasonable. I’m pleased we’re past the point of having books called ‘Careers for Girls’, though, regardless of how sensible the rest of your advice is. I was also touched by the widow going on holiday by herself for the first time, which can be daunting today, let alone back then. I hope she had a lovely time!

The “Careers For Girls” issue must have been something of a concern at the time. Here’s a public information film, also from 1969:

Ah, yes, that’s on the Charley Says compilation. A reminder of the days when young women were mainly seen as potential baby machines, and, of course, full employment!
