One City One Book - Women's Magazines and "Problem Pages" of the 1950's and 60's

The Dublin One City One Book 2019 is Edna O'Brien's The Country Girls Trilogy. There are lots of events all over Dublin City in libraries for One City One Book.

On Monday night I went to an excellent talk by Dr Caitriona Clear in the fantastic Lexicon Venue in Dun Laoghaire. The talk was about women's magazines in Ireland in the 1950's & 60's and more specifically relating to the problem pages section.

Dr. Clear was very entertaining along with the subject matter being fascinating and it was a great end to a Monday evening - starting at 7pm and finishing up about 8.15pm.

I hope to go to another event on the 29th of April.  For further info about 1 City 1 Book - click here.
