If you’re a smoker, you’re probably used to being a social pariah. First, they forced you to smoke outside. Then they took away the nice packaging. Then they tried to make you look a fool by smoking electric cigarettes.

And as articles began circulating in the form of open letters thanking Hillary for her role in the election, Emily had a thought: why shouldn’t we all write to the women who’ve inspired us?

So the Dear Women project was born.
