My Life and I: Confessions of an Unliberated Housewife, 1966-1980

This
collection of the best of Betty Bendell, from Good Housekeeping and other magazines, will delight
and amuse. From 'My dollyrocking days are over' (1966) to her last
column for GH
in 1980, these 87 magazine columns have been chosen for their glorious humour, their
social history and absolute embeddedness in British life in the late 1960s to
1980. Betty recorded her era from the perspective of a mother and a wife at
home, in the school playground, at the parties, in the garden, on holiday, in
the shops, and queuing at the supermarket, speculating wildly about the lives
of her friends and neighbours.
