Talk by Jack Moss, PhD Candidate, Dept. of History, University of Nottingham.
In 1968, Boots launched a cosmetic range for teenage girls and their friends. Join us to explore how 17’s marketing campaigns captured the era’s emphasis on pleasurable self-expression, whilst simultaneously persuading girls to restrain their make-up use.
