Art, Medicine, and Femininity: Visualising the Morphine Addict in Paris, 1870–1914 - Intoxicating Histories
Hannah Halliwell
Rampant morphine addiction in Third Republic France captured the imagination of artists in Paris. However, while the majority morphine users were male medical professionals, artists almost always pictured a female addict. Art, Medicine, and Femininity explores the societal impact of the feminization of addiction in this corpus of images.
