34. The Book of Revelations: Women and Their Secrets From the 1950s to the Present Day
Henge
What are you keeping secret? And what might those secrets reveal about the times we live in? Juliet Nicolson delves into the hidden lives of women from the 1950s to today, exploring secrecy as both burden and liberation. Blending memoir, intimate first-person testimony and rich social history, she traces three generations through an era of extraordinary change; from post-war constraint and the revolutions of the 1960s and 70s to the complex freedoms (and fresh perils) of the digital age. Why do we keep secrets? How do they shape families, identities and entire societies? As long-buried truths come to light, we are invited to reflect on whether progress is as secure as we might hope, and whether understanding the secrets of the past could help safeguard the future.
