The 1970s: An Era of Women s Liberation and misogyny

Submitted photo A few weeks ago, my family found an old newspaper clipping from August 22, 1971, tucked in my late Nana’s bible. On one side of the clipping, there is an article titled, Detroit saleswoman now deals in wheels by Shirley Ann Jenzen. It describes my great Aunt Betty Eller’s job working for Buick-Opel when there weren’t many women in car sales. Feminists were advocating to be recognized outside of the home, while Aunt Betty was driving luxurious cars and selling high-end vehicles to families and wealthy businessmen. She was a tall, blue-eyed blonde businesswoman who broke all sexist stereotypes and challenged politics working against her.

The untold story of Mollie Davies the WW2 female dispatch rider from Garnant

THE STORY of a World War 2 dispatch rider from Garnant has been rediscovered as we mark International Women s Day today (March 8). Heritage body Cadw is dedicating the day to celebrate a ‘forgotten’ piece of Welsh history the story of Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) Dispatch Rider, Mollie Davies. Born in Garnant the young nineteen-year-old with a passion for motorsports was the first ATS servicewoman to lose her life during the Second World War yet her story has seldom been told. Telling Mollie’s story is all part of Cadw’s continued effort to unearth and celebrate the stories of women from Wales’s past a mission which was started with the release of its first feminist history book for children last year, Welsh Women Making History.
