A Slight Amendment

In 1977, The Lady magazine accepted payment for an ad to be placed, but wanted to edit the copy to conform it to their normal style. After all, “Friendly, motherly” is a perfectly analogous substitute for “Socialist feminist.” We should start interchanging those terms every chance we can; everyone will understand. I believe this may have been a personal ad, and I would love to see exactly how the original ad was worded. It was found and posted by British author Kate Long, who often delivers sexist tidbits from old magazines in her Twitter feed. -via Buzzfeed
