Today’s Guardian came with a reprint of the 1975 Feb 15th edition of Jackie magazine, which was an olden-days mag for girls.
Here is a tally of everything advertised in it:
Make-up/ appearance etc: 5
Periods and how to beat them: 3
Joining the ladynavy or army (WRNS/ WRAC): 2
Hostelling as a holiday option: 1
Learning shorthand: 1
Jewellery: 1
Savings accounts: 1
Working in a bank: 1
I think essentially the message is: Girls! don’t get above your station…
