Young women at a military ball, March 1938

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  While clandestine smoking may have been indulged in by the avant-garde and the fashionable prior to the war, the changes in society during the 1920s brought female smoking into the open, and in the following decades advertising began to target women.5,6 The increasing engagement of women in the paid workforce, particularly with the outbreak of the Second World War, led to greater social and financial freedom for many women, which in turn fuelled higher smoking rates.2,5 By the end of the war, more than one-quarter of Australian women were smokers, along with almost three-quarters of adult males.7 Although the second half of the 1900s brought confirmation that tobacco use is a major cause of death and disease, female smoking continued to increase, peaking at one-third in the mid-1970s, by which time smoking in males had begun to decline.8,9 Source: www.tobaccoinaustralia.org.au/chapter-1-prevalence/1-1-a-...

Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, 1928

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Charles Kingsford Smith (1897–1935), affectionately known as 'Smithy', was an aviator who pioneered more long-distance routes than any other pilot. A decorated fighter pilot in World War I, Smithy was passionate about flying and his record-breaking flights captured the public imagination. However, aviation was often hazardous and in 1935 Smithy and his co-pilot, JT Pethybridge, disappeared while on a flight from England to Australia.
