EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a 'New Woman' lighting up a cigarette in a railway smoking compartment, aboard a train in Brooklyn, New York, USA, circa 1895. The emergence of the 'New Woman' was a cultural phenomenon that emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by women's growing independence and rejection of traditional gender roles. In this image, the woman confidently smokes a cigarette, challenging the societal norms of the time. The railway smoking compartment, with its ornate decor and plush seating, provides a luxurious backdrop to this scene of modernity and rebellion. The steam train, a symbol of progress and innovation, further emphasizes the sense of change and transformation taking place in American society during this period. The use of tobacco and cigarettes was becoming increasingly popular during the late 1800s, with the rise of tobacco companies and the widespread availability of cigarettes. However, this photograph does not focus on the commercial aspects of smoking, but rather on the cultural and social significance of this act for women. The historical context of this image is also noteworthy, as it comes at a time when the United States was undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization. The railway system played a crucial role in connecting different parts of the country, enabling people to travel more easily and facilitating the spread of ideas and trends. In summary, this photograph of a 'New Woman' smoking in a railway smoking compartment in Brooklyn, New York, circa 1895, is a powerful representation of the cultural and social changes taking place in America during this period. It captures the sense of modernity, rebellion, and transformation that characterized the emergence of the 'New Woman' and the rise of tobacco use in American society.
