My Life and I: Confessions of an Unliberated Housewife, 1966-1980

Thiscollection of the best of Betty Bendell, a leading magazine columnist for the UK edition of Good Housekeeping and other magazines, will delightand amuse. From 'My dollyrocking days are over' (1966) to her lastcolumn for GHin 1980, these 87 magazine columns have been chosen for their glorious humour, theirsocial history and absolute embeddedness in British life in the late 1960s to1980. Betty recorded her era from the perspective of a mother and a wife athome, in the school playground, at the parties, in the garden, on holiday, inthe shops, and queuing at the supermarket, speculating wildly about the livesof her friends and neighbours.
