Born in 1960? What Else Happened? The Australian Social history Book

In 1960, Oz women were said to be drunks, and Princess Margaret can now expect to have free photos. The concept of male nurses was raised. William Dobell tricked the Art World, and two especially gory murders were committed in Maitland. And, can you believe it, a few lucky men were admitted to hospitals during labours of women. Has the new idea of the equality of the sexes gone too far?

The books were written by Ron Williams who studied the newspapers day-by-day for a particular year, and then condensed the information into a book for that year.

The books are all A5, black and white, with interesting colour covers. There are no charts or graphs or heavy debate. Just facts and opinions and lots of absurd and bold comments. Very nostalgic, a bit irreverent, for the older reader.

They make great gifts for CHRISTMAS, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the like.
