Felicity Green: Women, Fashion & the Media in the 1960s

Felicity Green
Felicity Green joined the Mirror Group in the early 1960s, first as Associate Editor of the Sunday Mirror, and then as Associate of the Daily Mirror—the first woman to serve on the editorial board of a national newspaper. Her career did much to increase the influence of women in journalism, and in particular in the presentation of fashion. She has received many awards, and for five years in the early ‘90s she was a senior lecturer of the St. Martins School. In 2005 she was elected to the Press Gazette Newspaper Hall of Fame. She is the subject of a recent exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Felicity is a talented communicator, and in this talk she will offer her personal insights into society and aesthetics in the 1960s.
