A “Girl’s World” was a ghoulish dummy’s head on which to experiment with make-up.
Then came the bra-burning, banner-wielding, placenta-eating Sixties and suddenly Jane got herself some options. Wimmin needed men like fish needed, well, any form of transport, sisters were revolting and nights were reclaimed. Everywhere was insurrection and the flap of dungaree.
