Talking through Their Hats: 3

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Four talks by women writers on the subject of clothes.

When Ruth Gershon was a little girl she was fascinated with two worlds - ballet and clothes. She spent the happiest moments of her childhood in her ballet classes, learning to be graceful, skilful and strong, as well as feminine and imaginative. Her family life centred on her father's clothes manufacturing business. Her father even made the outfits she wore for her ballet class and shared her fascination with fashion. Ruth Gershon did not become a ballerina but clothes and dance remain the twin themes of her life.
