Lynn Knight keeps a button collection that has been passed down through three generations of women in her family. Lynn joins Jenni Murray to talk about 'The Button Box' - her book which uses buttons to tell the story of women's lives from pre-First World War domesticity, to the delights of beading and glamour in the thirties, to short skirts and sexual liberation in the sixties. First broadcast on Woman's Hour, 18 February 2016.
