THE OBSERVER 6 NOVEMBER 1966
- A headline is talking about
how lawyers urge consent for divorce, this shows that divorce may
becoming more frequent at this time.
- There is an article on a recent flood in Italy
which shows that British media also had interests in other countries at
the time because of trade and resourcing raw materials.
- On the side is an article about how Jacqueline
Kennedy has found a new husband and how is just a replacement of John F Kennedy
by calling him the alternate president.
- There is also the usual advertisement for
women’s lingerie
- There are reviews of plays like Macbeth and
King Arthur on the side.
- There are no stories about
black people, gay people and not many stories about women's success.
Divorce: this draws attention to public and government concern about the potential destabilizing effect of easier divorce.
ReplyDeleteJackie K: women tended to have social importance and be referred to only in their capacity as wives rather than in their own right. The lingerie advert, along with knitting adverts elsewhere on other covers, position women in the domestic sphere. You recognise the lack of representation about women in general.I dont think that there are any stories about women's success.
