Meg can’t wait to leave home. Cynthia misses her family back in the Caribbean. Pamela is pregnant and her mum wants the baby adopted. Andrea fancies girls.
Life in 1960s Britain was changing fast but it wasn’t all miniskirts and pop music. This beautiful installation at Glasgow Women's Library, with illustrations by Candice Purwin in digital and other forms, is based on research interviews with eight women who were teenagers in the swinging (or not so swinging) sixties. The stories are inspired by University of Manchester research with women who were teenagers in the sixties.
For all teenagers, past, present or future.
Glasgow Women’s Library will host a workshop on Thursday 18th April inviting people to share their stories of life in the ’60s in response to the exhibition. See the exhibition page on the Glasgow Women's Library website for more info.
You can view the exhibition online at the Teenage Kicks website.
