Every year, thousands of women attempt to kick their smoking habit
because it is an unhealthy, expensive addiction. And every year,
thousands do not quit because of nicotine cravings and because
smoking has an image which is almost as addictive as the cigarette
itself. It is seductive and alluring - but where does this image
come from, and has it always been so deadly? In "Smoke Signals,"
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 feminization
of cigarette smoking, the author unravels the role of visual
culture and the impact of social, economic, medical and
technological changes. Drawing on women's own photographs,
alongside images from magazines, newspapers, television and film,
this book provides a detailed and stimulating exploration of the
role of visual culture in the history of women and smoking.
