jan 1, 1962 - Lady Chatterley's Lover was published

Description:

Lady Chatterley's Lover was a sexually explicit book which caused a court case against the publishing company Penguin when the book was published in Britain.

Penguin won the case against the Obscenity Act and 2 million copies were sold.

However many thought media such as Lady Chatterley's Lover demonstrated a wave of depravity. Mary Whitehouse was a pioneer against this "immorality and depravity".

The press also shared the same sentiment. The public was generally socially conservative.
