I hope you will allow an old white man the opportunity to fill in some historical context to this excellent piece. The WHJ of 1966 was surely a last gasp from a pre-war generation. Along with the six other magazines that made up the 'seven sisters', it may have enjoyed its maximum circulation at that time but the arrival of Helen Gurley Brown at Cosmopolitan the year before heralded the transformation of magazines aimed at women. Viewed through the white middle class lens of WHJ the sixties may well seem old fashioned today. The point is that the lifestyle they were promoting was already out of touch with women's real lives and experience. The mid-sixties marked the start of the social changes that we all now benefit from and that are under growing threat from the religious right.
