Carol Dyhouse

Carol Dyhouse is research professor of history at the University of Sussex. Her work focuses on the history of women, education and gender in modern Britain. She has published widely on the subject of girls’ upbringing, schooling and women in higher education. Her most recent book on this subject was Students: A Gendered History, (Routledge, 2006).

Since then Carol has been working on the rather different subject of glamour and its social history, exploring the changing meanings of the word 'glamour', its relationship to femininity and fashion, and what glamour has meant to women. Her new book on the subject, Glamour: women, history, feminism', is published by Zed Books.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Glamour-History-Feminism-Carol-Dyhouse/dp/184813407X
