Mary Whitehouse Quotes

A collection of quotes by Mary Whitehouse.

Mary Whitehouse (1910-2001) was a British social activist best known for her campaign for moral standards in the media. As the founder and president of the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association (NVALA), Whitehouse fought against what she perceived as an increase in sexual and violent content on television and radio during the 1960s and 1970s. Her conservative viewpoints generated both support and criticism, with some hailing her as a moral crusader and others accusing her of censorship. NVALA laid the foundation for later media watchdog organizations, and Whitehouse's impact on British society and media regulation cannot be overstated.
