Description
Jenny Selby-Green's memoir, To Bed on Thursdays, is a nostalgic account of her time as a newspaper reporter in the 1950s. Working for a provincial press, she navigated a challenging work environment marked by outdated practices and demanding deadlines.
Despite facing obstacles such as bullying from a prominent figure and encountering famous personalities like Sophie Loren, Selby-Green persevered to bring order to her stories about the people and places she encountered in Aylesbury and its district. Her experiences offer a unique glimpse into a simpler era of news-gathering.
This memoir is a candid and engaging account of life as a female journalist in a male-dominated industry, set against the backdrop of provincial England during a bygone age.
