Agony aunt Anglela MacNamara piles on the agony, Women’s Way, 1967.

Speaking last year, Angela, now 81, recalled:

“In those days, there were unspoken rules about what you could and couldn’t discuss in a newspaper — especially to do with sex. Quite a few people enclosed stamped addressed envelopes asking for confidential advice. One of the most common questions I got was: ‘What is a sin?’
“People wanted black and white answers to their problems, but they didn’t get them because there are no black and white answers. Instead, I just tried to get people to think for themselves.”

Quite.
