Description
'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.

'An absorbing study of an extraordinary age. Beautifully written and intensively researched' Selina Hastings
