There was one woman in my tutor group, Southampton Uni Electronics, intake of 1977 - a charming lady from Venezuela, if memory serves - but what a novelty it was thought then! We have moved on...

To be fair, lots of advertising from that era carries assumptions which are uncomfortable now - and that ad was American. On this showing, I don't suppose MadMen is far from the truth!
