Description
This book explores the childhoods of those who grew up in the 1960s, a decade marked by significant social and cultural change. New vaccines and the contraceptive pill had a profound impact on family life, while comprehensive education began to be rolled out in schools.
The rise of prosperity and technological advances led to increased leisure time for families, with television becoming a common feature of home life. Children enjoyed a childhood filled with new toys and sweets, as well as the freedom to travel and go on holidays abroad. However, this was also an era of social change, with teenagers facing new challenges and opportunities.
This book is part of the Britain's Heritage series, providing a definitive introduction to a key period in British history. It offers a fresh perspective on what it meant to be a child in the 1960s, and is ideal for anyone looking to understand this pivotal decade.
