This book delivers the uncertainties and excitements of 1955-65 by looking at women's programmes, current affairs, and popular drama. Programmes had to be devised and the mass audience built. Though women were central to this audience their images were often demeaning, in line with fifties paternalism. Janet Thumim brilliantly illuminates television's role in Britain of the 50s and 60s,revealing the interplay of media and the feminine.Oxford television studies.Television broadcastingSocial aspectsGreat BritainTelevision and womenGreat BritainTelevision broadcastingSocial aspectsTelevision and women302.23/45/0941Thumim Janet1945-1859935MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910953774903321Inventing television culture4464300UNINA
