Do YOU remember the 60s and the 70s?
“If you can remember the 60s, then you weren’t really there.” Or so they say…
But you WERE there, and you have your memories. What stands out for you? What are your favorite moments? We want to read them!
We are producing an evocative anthology of true stories and poetry written by women who were there, and who have never forgotten the times or the moments that changed them:
Times They Were A-Changing: Women Remember the 60s & 70s
What an awakening time it was—rocking us to our roots, making us think, feel, and respond to the world in new and sometimes confusing, but always exciting, ways.
We invite women who were part of the amazing movements of consciousness, politics, and feminism during the 60s and 70s to submit their writing, the true stories of what happened in personal narratives or poetry. We hope these works will:
- Inspire young women now to evolve and grow, to hold onto their ideals and express their own voices
- Remind you, the generation of women from that era, the importance of your legacy
- Educate readers about women’s unique participation in those changing times
