Abstract:
"The Girls of '66 ... is a memoir of six friends who grew up in Victoria, B.C. in the 1950s and 1960s. We were a close little group who went through junior high and high school together, mostly in the same classes, graduating in 1966, right on the cusp of huge societal change. Although Victoria could seem like a place on the far edge of world events, the United States was only a ferry ride away, and a click of the radio or TV dial brought its culture and politics into our homes and minds. The rise of the feminist movement, hippie counter-culture, and shifting sexual mores, all had their impact. Would we ever really want to relive those often turbulent years? Probably not! But you can read this book and nod or shake your head and hopefully, also laugh in recognition. Enjoy. And ask questions after! "-- back cover.
