Publisher's Synopsis
The Lady Who Smoked Cigars is a novel written by Rupert Hughes and first published in 1913. The story follows the life of a young woman named Dolores Rue, who defies the conventions of her time by smoking cigars and pursuing a career as a journalist. Dolores is a strong-willed and independent woman who refuses to conform to the expectations of society. She is determined to live life on her own terms, even if it means facing criticism and ridicule from those around her. As the story unfolds, Dolores becomes embroiled in a scandalous affair with a married man, which threatens to ruin her reputation and career. Despite the challenges she faces, Dolores remains steadfast in her resolve to live life on her own terms. The Lady Who Smoked Cigars is a fascinating portrait of a woman ahead of her time, and a compelling exploration of the social and cultural norms of early 20th-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
