'Brilliantly original . . . endlessly fascinating and full of surprises' – Alice Loxton, author of Eighteen'An intricate cultural history . . . thought-provoking' - The Sunday Times'A nuanced, thoughtful history of this slippery concept' – Kate Fox, author of Watching the EnglishA Financial Times 'What to read in 2025' BookFrom ancient times to our digital present, Strangers and Intimates traces the dramatic emergence of private life, and argues that it is now in mortal danger.

In this sweeping history, acclaimed cultural historian Tiffany Jenkins takes readers on an epic journey, from the strict separations of public and private in ancient Athens to the moral rigidity of the Victorian home, and from the feminists of the 1970s who declared that ‘the personal is political’ to the boundary-blurring demands of our digital age.

Strangers and Intimates is both a celebration of the private realm and a warning: as social media, surveillance and the expectations of constant openness reshape our lives, Jenkins asks a timely question: can private life survive the demands of the twenty-first century?

I love Melissa sandals. The product is good, but it arrived used for the second time. It is poor store management.

Size up 1/2
Super cute, I wore these on a nine hour shift and I stand on my feet all day. I have no regrets. I did not have to change into an extra pair of shoes. I wear a size 10 and it was recommended to go up a half size and I did and I’m glad they fit perfect in a 10 1/2

These Tory Burch Mellow Platform Sandals are super cute and surprisingly comfortable for platform sandals. The quality feels great and they’re easy to dress up or down for spring and summer outfits. My only suggestion would be to size up about a half size, as they do run a little small. Overall, definitely worth the purchase!
