Birds of Britain was a book that came out in 1967. The book featured the most popular, influential, and notorious girls of Britain. In the introduction by Anthony Haden-Guest: "This is the new British girl. Observe her. She is a novel phenomenon. She is loyal, also fickle obstinate, gentle, suspicious and trusting. Also sharp and feckless, realistic and fanstastic beyond belief...". So, here are just some of the lovely ladies that epitomized the decade.
