This book analyses the different and competing discourses that surround women’s cigarette smoking, and how these shape the smoking practices and gender identities of young women.
This book analyses the different and competing discourses that surround women’s cigarette smoking, and assesses how these discourses shape the smoking practices and gender identities of contemporary young women. Using a post-structuralist feminist framework, and through critical engagement with literature, theory, visual culture, and interview material, the author demonstrates how the discursive field surrounding smoking has been reconfigured in recent years and is now fraught with tension, conflict, and contradiction.
