"Spirit in the Sky...."
Marilyn singing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President...."
Panty hose and girdles, high heels and pearls....
Nora Ephron, young....
"A pretty girl like you--you should have a ring on that finger by now!"
Women in offices being called "girls" by the men....
Everybody smoking in the office....
Black rotary dial phones....
The Sensuous Woman....
Typewriters and Charm Bracelets....
If you want a trip back in time, just for ten episodes, and if you remember those days, you gotta watch Girls in Revolt on Amazon. Freda told me about it this afternoon as we were driving to a blues concert, and it's my Sunday night watch. I'm three episodes in. It's uncovering memories of those years when feminism was a baby and men got all the "important" jobs, even when their underlings were as smart as they were.
