case study 3: November 1966
on two front pages there are front page advertisements for women's underwear which suggests that women of the time were expected to look good for their husbands or future husbands and should concern themselves with this.
Newspapers of the 1960's also give an insight into the political issues of the day. fear of cold war in an article about Russian spy planes and the tension between the church of England and the state over changes to the divorce laws give some insight into the political agenda of the time.
the article also connotes the 60s was the decade of free love and revolution as the idea of divorce went against social norms of previous decades.
