“…75 There was also discussion of women doing 'men's jobs … as efficiently as a man', including barbers and welders, but no mention of women's unequal pay (women's hourly earnings averaged 59 per cent of men's from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s). 76 Teen-magazines gave the impression that readers could go as far as they dared given their capabilities, but they avoided confronting issues about the unequal position of women in the labour force. 77 Their insistence on self-fulfilment was sometimes more easily achieved through travel than paid work; tellingly, travel usually had a higher profile than careers.…”

Young women were harbingers of social change in postwar Britain; this article addresses discourses that informed their sense of self and expectations. It focuses on magazines produced for, and read by, young women in their mid-to-late teens and early twenties as a prism through which to explore ideas about the teenage self and lifestyle between 1957 and 1970. It argues that a distinctive feature of these magazines was a new ideal of young womanhood that resonated with late-modern discourses of self-discovery and self-fulfilment and which necessitated a lifestyle characterized by independence, experience and opportunity. Though an attractive ideal, it was also problematic for young women and potentially frustrating.

“…This alteration in laterality of the vessels, together with the anterior descending coronary artery coming off the right aortic sinus of Valsalva, is the anatomic hallmark of inversion of the truncal, trunco-conal or bulboventricular regions. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Inversion, anatomically, may be considered to be a disturbance in laterality pursuant to a certain axis. This axis is the longitudinal axis of the body when the arterial trunks are considered, and the longitudinal axis of the heart when the atria and ventricles are considered.…”

Truncal Inversion with Biventricular Pulmonary Trunk and Aorta from Right Ventricle (Variant of Taussig-Bing Complex)

et al. 1967

A heart is described pathologically in which the aorta emerged from the right ventricle and was not related to the ventricular septal defect, while the pulmonary trunk emerged from both ventricles, but mostly the right, and was related to the ventricular septal defect. This Taussig-Bing arrangement of vessels was coupled with the presence of the aortic orifice to the left and the pulmonic orifice to the right, which is an inverted position. The anatomic concept of inversion is an abnormality in position from the standpoint of laterality. A careful study of the conal regions of the left and right ventricles showed that those regions were not inverted. Therefore, this represents a case of Taussig-Bing complex with exclusively truncal inversion, which is unique. This may be explained on the basis of opposite metameric contribution to the development of the truncus.

The heart was in levocardia (normal position) with all organs in situs solitus. The atria and inlets of the ventricles and coni were in normal posi-

The Natural and Unnatural History of Congenital Heart Disease

DescriptionA 60-year-old woman initially presented 8 years ago with atypical chest pain and palpitations.Her 12-lead ECG demonstrated complete heart block, following which she underwent dualchamber pacemaker implantation. She also had transthoracic echocardiogram, which was felt to be technically difficult due to body habitus. She was diagnosed to have mild mitral valve regurgitation, due to mild mitral valve prolapse, and was kept under annual surveillance. There was no other significant medical history. Her last TTE was done a year ago and she had been symptom-free up to her recent clinic visit. Her repeat TTE showed apically displaced Ebstein-like left atrioventricular valve (AV) with tricuspid valve morphology (confirmed by three-dimensional (3D) echo) and heavily trabeculated morphologically right ventricle on the left side of the heart (figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, online supplementary video 1 and supplementary video 2). Her systemic ventricle was mild to moderately impaired, and the tricuspid, left AV was moderately regurgitant. There are no obvious shunt and no other significant valvular abnormalities identified on this recent study. The above findings (atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance) were in keeping with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (CC-TGA).CC-TGA is a rare congenital heart defect accounting for <1% of all congenital heart diseases. 1They are usually associated with ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, Ebstein-like malformation of the systemic AV valve and high-degree AV block. Patients without coexistent shunts are usually asymptomatic and usually diagnosed from investigations like ECG, chest X-ray and TTE done for other reasons. This condition is often missed because of the failure to recognise the above anatomical variation, as in our case.2 Patients with CC-TGA require regular long-term follow-up as Congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries
