In this Valentine’s Day special of Travels Through Time we find out how women’s love lives were being transformed in the year 1966.
Our guest is Professor Carol Dyhouse, a social and cultural historian and emeritus professor at the University of Sussex. Dyhouse takes us on a fascinating, uplifting tour of the sixties that ends with us sniffing fine perfume in a Scottish department store.
Dyhouse is the author of several books about women’s history from education and feminism to glamour and consumerism. Her most recent work Love Lives: From Cinderella to Frozen is soon to be published by Oxford University Press.
