Emily Priscott is a social historian and writer. She completed her doctorate in Contemporary History at the University of Sussex in 2019, where she specialized in late-20th-century Gender History. Her thesis formed the basis for her first book, 'Singleness in Britain, 1960-1990: Identity, Gender and Social Change', which was published in 2020 by Vernon Press. Her most recent work focuses on the relationship between fashion, singleness and interwar literary culture, which she built on as the inspiration for this collection - an eclectic volume exploring the relationship between style and identity in British culture.
