EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to November 1977, where a group of empowered women decided to challenge the stereotypical image associated with librarians. Tired of being confined to the traditional "twin set and pearls" look, the staff at a North East library took matters into their own hands and designed their own sexy t-shirts. The image showcases these trailblazing library girls proudly posing together in their new look. From left to right, we see Julie Lloyd, Debra Presley, Barbara Watts, Liz Alexander, Ann Hardy, Lynne Ferguson, Teresa Appleton and Sue Robertson exuding confidence and breaking free from societal expectations. This photograph captures not only a fashion statement but also a powerful message about embracing individuality and challenging norms within professional settings. These librarians prove that one's occupation does not define their style or personality. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time from the 1970s era, it serves as a reminder that change is possible when individuals come together with determination. The spirit of these rebellious librarians continues to inspire us today as they paved the way for future generations to express themselves freely without conforming to outdated stereotypes.
