Having
recently finished a history of the French hairdressing profession, a
study of the links among work, business, and culture, and a lesson in
the development of a modern consumer society, I am now in the opening
stages of research on a history of public and personal hygiene, which
will examine evolving practices and sensibilities of cleanliness in

France
.
