The Hidden Story of Sex: 1: Powder Your Radiant Hair

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Peggy Reynolds presents a three-part series exploring the cultural history behind our changing attitudes to sexual behaviour and taboos over the centuries.

Dress, costume and adornment give out powerful messages about sexuality. Professor Aileen Ribeiro from the Courtauld Institute and Rosemary Harden of the Bath Costume Museum help to decode the signals. The readers are Jacqueline Tong and John Telfer.
