More Than Bubbles: A Surprising History of Soap
A 45–60 minute illustrated history lecture for libraries and adult audiences.
For most of history, daily bathing was unusual, controversial, or even suspicious.
This illustrated talk traces how soap evolved from something practical into a powerful symbol of morality, health, and social status, and how modern advertising helped turn cleanliness into an obsession.
