Description: Penny Tinkler charts women's changing relationship to tobacco from the 1880s to the 1980s during which smoking transformed from a male practice to one enjoyed by both sexes. Focusing on the feminisation of cigarette smoking, the author unravels the role of visual culture and the impact of social, economic and medical changes.
