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-...

While not being urged to avoid competition, women had few opportunities to compete in sports in Australia until the 1880s. After that date, new sporting facilities were being built around the country and many new sports clubs were created.[1] Boxing classes were being offered to women in Australia by 1892, at locations such as the Brisbane Gymnasium on Turbot Street, close to the city's railway station.[2] While classes may have been offered for women, serious training was not permitted for women by the 1900s, and women were banned from pursuing the sport in a competitive way. Women were also barred from attending boxing matches.[3] New South Wales is the only Australian state to have banned women's boxing, having prohibited it from 1986 to 2009.[4] Women's boxing was resumed in NSW with an exhibition fight between Kaye Scott and Ramona Stephenson in October 2009.[5] Women's boxing was only legalized in Queensland in 2000. Female boxers in Australia have historically faced problems with acceptance of their involvement in the sport. In many places, they have been unable to find places to train and faced difficulties with the law prohibiting them from competing.[6] In 2005, a Ph.D. student in Australia was doing research on the history of women's boxing in the country.
