Carol Dyhouse

Carol is a Research Professor in History at the University of Sussex and is currently writing a new book provisionally entitled, Girls: History, Horror Stories and Progress. Her research has focussed on gender, education and the pattern of women’s lives in nineteenth and twentieth century Britain. Her books include Girls Growing Up in late Victorian and Edwardian England; Feminism and the Family in England, 1890-1939; No Distinction of Sex? Women in British Universities; and Students: A Gendered History. An interest in clothing and material culture, and the ways in which these relate to changing ideas about femininity, led to work on the subject of glamour, its controversial status within feminism, and its meanings to women in history.
