| Abstract | Using interviews and oral history, this research illuminates older women's experiences with mass media and popular communication during their teen years. In this essay, we analyze interviews with 14 Caucasian American women who were born in or before 1933. We conclude that these women gravitated toward adult-focused media, that they recalled “experiences” associated with media rather than its content, and that many of their memories were inextricably linked to the world events of their day.
