The (im)mobilities of Covid-19 in later life
The COVID-19 pandemic foregrounded a numerical conception of age. Many of the targets of proposals to introduce age-specific restrictions are members of the ‘baby boomer’ generation, a generation that is widely recognised as having a youthful approach to ageing. Attending to arguments that baby boomers are a ‘bridging’ generation – i.e. they share cultural orientations with both preceding and succeeding generations – we argue that ‘bridging’ is a…
Introducing 'resonance
This article proposes 'resonance' as a fruitful way of conceptualising the relationship between youth and later life and reflecting on its significance: resonance is how a person's 'youth' is lived with in the present of their later life. Resonance revisions youth, engaging with the complexity of its presence in the lifecourse. Relinquishing a preoccupation with continuity and linearity, youth seen from the vantage point of later life contributes…
Living with other women's lives
This article reflects on the ways researchers are affected by their engagement with the stories they encounter in research. It proposes the notion of ‘research resonance’ to capture the experience of living with research participants’ stories, and by extension, their lives. The article draws on data collected for the ‘Girlhood and Later Life’ project, which investigated youth experiences and transitions to adulthood of women born between 1939 and…
Me Too? Re-encountering youth experiences of sexual violence in post-war England from the vantage point of later life
Cultural understandings of sexual abuse, sexual harassment and sexual assault have shifted considerably since the 1960s in the United Kingdom and more widely. This article investigates how changing discourses around sexual abuse, harassment and assault are navigated by British women in later life when they narrate experiences that occurred in their youth in the 1960s and early 1970s. It identifies six sites of youth that are relevant to understan…
Intimate relationships with Shirley Baker’s photos of Manchester and Salford
Reflecting on a photo-elicitation project linked to a major exhibition of Shirley Baker’s photos of Manchester and Salford in the 1960s and 1970s, this paper explores relationships between people and the photos that purportedly represent the communities of their childhoods. It addresses neglected questions about how documentary photos contribute to the construction of memory and about how personal memories might animate found photos. The article …
Recomposing persons
Birth cohort studies can be used not only to generate population-level quantitative data, but also to recompose persons. The crux is how we understand data and persons. Recomposition entails scavenging for various (including unrecognised) data. It foregrounds the perspective and subjectivity of survey participants, but without forgetting the partiality and incompleteness of the accounts that it may generate. Although interested in the singularity…
The Long Shadow of Youth
The timing and nature of exits from FT education played a pivotal role in setting people onto life-course trajectories that influence well-being in later life for this older generation of women
Going Places or Out of Place? Representations of Mobile Girls and Young Women in Late-1950s and 1960s Britain
Spatial mobilities are a neglected dimension of the historiography of post-war youth and yet, as this article argues, in the late 1950s and 1960s, mobilities became integral to a redefinition of young femininity. Examining media targeting girls and young women, as well as national newspapers and women's magazines, this article explores the popularization of the idea that girls in their teens and early twenties were on the move and that particular…

Revisioning the History of Girls and Women in Britain in the Long 1950s
This Special Issue of Women's History Review challenges popular assumptions about girls and women in the 1950s, and about the 1950s as the quiet patch when women returned to the home and domestic d
Teetering on the Edge
This article explores how British social problem films in the late 1950s and early 1960s represented social anxieties around the sexuality of girls in their mid to late teens. Its analytic focus is upon the risks posed by modern social life to the teenage girl's sexual innocence and it argues that attending to this hitherto often-neglected sexual state brings new insights to cultural histories of young female sexualities. Discussion draws upon Be…
Seeing’ into the past and ‘looking’ forward to the future
A small number of attempts have been made to take stock of the field of gender and education, though very few have taken methodology as their explicit focus. We seek to stimulate such discussion in this article by taking stock of the use of visual methods in gender and education research (particularly participatory and image-based methods). We undertake this exercise by looking at the claims researchers have made about the ways in which visual me…

Are You Really Living?’ If Not, ‘Get With It!’
Young women were harbingers of social change in postwar Britain; this article addresses discourses that informed their sense of self and expectations. It focuses on magazines produced for, and read by, young women in their mid-to-late teens and early twenties as a prism through which to explore ideas about the teenage self and lifestyle between 1957 and 1970. It argues that a distinctive feature of these magazines was a new ideal of young womanho…
The past in the present
History is often embedded, explicitly or implicitly, in discourses on contemporary aspects of gender and education, but relatively few scholars engage critically with history as they grapple with current issues. This article posits ‘historical sensibility’ as a means of engaging constructively with the past when scrutinising and working on current issues in gender and education. Four features of historical sensibility are mapped out and compared …
Moving Stories
Moving Stories focuses on the experiences of four British women who migrated to Australia in the 1960s and 1970s under a scheme whereby they paid only £10 towards their government-assisted passage
Constructing Girlhood
This text explores the contribution of magazines to the social construction of female adolescence during a historical period of rapid change and locates the role of magazines in the lives of contemporary girls. In addressing this theme, the book explores the changing social, economic, political and cultural conditions which shaped, and continue to influence, the experience of girlhood. The author discusses key concepts such as adolescence and "gi…
Picture Me As a Young Woman”
While there have been several historical studies of photos of young people, especially children, there has been relatively little attention paid to the photos collected by young people in the past. Although the study of girls' photo collections has the potential to expand and enrich the historiography of youth, this potential is not realized easily. Focusing on the photo collections of girls who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s, this article explor…
Women's Albums and Photography in Victorian England
PATRIZIA DI BELLO Aldershot: Ashgate, 2007 Pp. ix + 183. £55.00. ISBN 978 0 7546 5855 9 Historians are often dismissive of Victorian photograph albums and the efforts of women who made them, but in
A fragmented picture
Research on children and youth increasingly features young people's photographs and/or young people as photographers. While this suggests that quite a lot is known about young people's relationships to photographs and camera technologies, this is not the case. Following an overview of studies that engage with young photographers, this article demonstrates why still very little is known about young people's photographic practices – that is, the ra…
Ladettes' and 'Modern Girls
Ladettes' are argued to be a sign, and product, of contemporary development and change; their fortunes are presented as inextricably related to the conditions of late modernity. Using the past to shed light on the present, this paper considers whether fears and claims about the behaviour of some contemporary young women in Britain are exclusive to the present. Two data sets inform the discussion: first, representations of ladettes in national and…
Refinement and Respectable Consumption
This article examines British women's magazines and the insights that they can provide into the relationships between social class, gender and respectable feminine consumption. The discussion focuses on magazine representations of women who smoked cigarettes in the years between 1918 and 1970 with particular attention to the period up to 1950. Magazine images reveal the visual parameters of respectable smoking for women between 1918 and 1970 and …
Cause for concern
During the late 1930s and throughout the 1940s the leisure of young women attracted much interest from youth workers, psychologists and educationalists. Indeed, in 1939 their leisure became an organised and respectable focus of state intervention. This article addresses how, and in what ways, the leisure of young women came to acquire significance as an issue of concern, object of analysis, and sphere of intervention. The argument developed here …
Back to Basics
This paper examines the roles and significance of the viva in the doctoral examination process. More specifically, it addresses the following question-what purposes does the viva serve in the PhD assessment process? Discussion focuses upon (1) the roles of the viva as delineated within university policy; and (2) the purposes of the viva from the perspectives of examiners, supervisors and doctoral candidates. The findings suggest that, whether vie…

Red Tips for Hot Lips
The girl or woman smoker is a twentieth-century phenomenon. In 1900, smoking was invariably associated with sexually deviant womanhood. Today, smoking is firmly, if contentiously, established as a feminine practice in British society. This article examines one aspect of the twentieth-century feminisation of smoking in Britain, namely, the ways in which smoking practices have been presented as appropriate for young women in the period 1920-70.

Sexuality and citizenship
It is widely accepted that girls' leisure provision in England has historically been of low priority except where girls have been seen to lack moral supervision and instruction in domestic and maternal skills. This is, in fact, largely unsubstantiated in relation to state initiatives during the twentieth century. We know little, for instance, about the gender dimensions of the Service of Youth scheme which was launched during the Second World War…

English Girls and the International Dimensions of British Citizenship in the 1940s
Citizenship has traditionally been equated with borders and boundaries and, in particular, membership of a nation-state. Motivated by recent interest in the crossing of boundaries and processes of inclusion which operate across a common basis such as the nation-state, this article explores the ways in which international relations were implicitly and explicitly embedded in constructions of British citizenship in the 1940s. Focusing on representat…
