Publisher's Synopsis
Do the 1960s match up to their image? Was it a decade when class, race and sexual barriers were challenged and "flower power" won the day for "love and peace"? Or do the hostilities in Vietnam and Northern Ireland, and the Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations, prove that the '60s were not the dawning of a new age?;In this book, seven women share their childhood or teenage memories of a time of excitement and opportunity, when money and fame seemed within the grasp of anyone with drive - and perhaps a little talent. The recollections of personal details offer a perspective of the events of the period.
