Time Travels: Fair Amazonians and Modern Morals

Fair Amazonians and Modern Morals

BBC Radio Scotland - Time Travels, Fair Amazonians and Modern Morals

Rowdy Dundonian women plus the dilemmas of living together then and now.

Susan Morrison hears about rowdy, gallus Dundonian women, plus living together ‘unmarried’  - out east in the 19th century, out west in Glasgow in the 1970s.

Dr Hannah Telling of the Institute of Historical research loves rowdy gallus Dundonian women who get in the papers. She introduces Susan to the Victorian mill workers who worked hard, played hard and fought hard - don’t cross them! Dr Charlie Lynch of Glasgow University is back to tell us how the West was won - looking at cohabitation in Glasgow’s West End in the 1970s and Dr Eloise Grey of Aberdeen University takes us into the world of making families and breaking them up across cultures in the early 19th century and the story of Eliza Kewark, Theodore Forbes and their children.
