I started off my career as a journalist - after a book of mine, Chelsea Bird, was published when I was twenty. In the 'sixties I wrote a rock column for the Daily Mail. But after suffering long bouts of depression, I decided to apply for the job of agony aunt at Woman magazine. anna Raeburn had just left - and I got the job. I stayed there for ten years and since then worked as problem page editor for the Sunday Mirror and Today - and at the moment I write the DilEmmas column for the Independent every Monday, and a monthly column for the Oldie. I'm also starting a new career as a performer, with the Virginia Monologues.

When an agony aunt reaches sixty, she can lie like a trooper, jump off a bridge - or take to the stage. Virginia Ironside explains that unlimited free drugs, boring for Britain, fun funerals, grandchildren and sex - or, even better, no sex - make the sixties the best - and funniest - time of your life. . .
