Lifestyle Revolution
Colour archive and personal stories recount life in the 60s. How an age of electricity and labour-saving devices transformed home life - especially for women.
Using colour archive and personal stories this people's history concludes with the moving story of how a new age of electricity and labour-saving devices transformed home and family life in sixties Wales.

Women benefitted most of all from the improvements. Many were freed from a life of endless domestic drudgery, childbearing and full-time motherhood.
