Abstract "This social history traces the evolution of women's smoking in the United States from 1880 to 1950. Women were not allowed to smoke in public places, with strong opposition based on moral concerns. By 1928, advertisers began to target female smokers, and over the next two decades women smokers gradually gained equality with male smokers"--Provided by publisher.
