Art, Medicine, and Femininity: Visualising the Morphine Addict in Paris, 1870–1914 - Intoxicating Histories

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.
