The Sixties: A mythical decade for women?


As Radio 4 continues to explore the events and ramifications of 1968 – we’re joined by Linda Grant, Author of Sexing the Millenium, and Gerard DeGroot, Author of 'Sixties Unplugged'. Gerard argues we need to stop viewing this decade through rose-tinted glasses, especially when it comes to evaluating the lives and treatment of women. 

The Sixties Unplugged: A Kaleidoscopic History of a Disorderly Decade by Gerard DeGroot
