Prof. Carol Dyhouse: Love, Love, Love (1966)

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.
