Book excerpt: Our ideas about the long histories of young couples' relationships and women's efforts to manage their reproductive health are often premised on the notion of a powerful sexual double standard. In Sex in an Old Regime City, Julie Hardwick offers a major reframing of the history of young people's intimacy. Based on legal records from the city of Lyon, Hardwick uncovers the relationships of young workers before marriage and after pregnancy occurred, even if marriage did not follow, and finds that communities treated these occurrences without stigmatizing or moralizing. She finds a hidden world of strategies young couples enacted when they faced an untimely pregnancy. If they could not or would not marry, they sometimes tried to terminate pregnancies, to make the newborn go away by a variety of measures, or to charge the infant to local welfare institutions. Far from being isolated, couples drew on the resources of local communities and networks. Clerics, midwives, wet nurses, landladies, lawyers, parents, and male partners in and outside the city offered pragmatic, sympathetic ways to help young, unmarried pregnant women deal with their situations and hold young men responsible for the reproductive consequences of their sexual activity. This was not merely emotional work; those involved were financially compensated. These support systems ensured that the women could resume their jobs and usually marry later, without long-term costs. In doing so, communities managed and minimized the disruptions and consequences even of cases of abandonment and unprosecuted infanticide. This richly textured study re-thinks the ways in which fundamental issues of intimacy and gendered power were entwined with families, communities, and religious and secular institutions at all levels from households to neighborhoods to the state.

This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait : "Dans l'antiquité, la question se posait d'une manière différente. La société païenne ne donnait de soins aux enfants qu'en vue de l'utilité dont ils pouvaient être soit à la famille, soit à l'Etat ; elle attribuait au père le droit de sacrifier son enfant, de le tuer ou de l'exposer. Souvent l'Etat l'obligeait à le supprimer, quand on jugeait que l'enfant était un être inutile ou une charge incommode."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les enfants abandonnés et les enfants assistés ont marqué par leur présence et par leur nombre les sociétés urbaines du XIXe siècle. Les femmes qui leur ont donné naissance, appelés "filles-mères", sont encore très mal connus des historiens. L'auteur nous propose de suivre ces "filles-mères" et leurs enfants, à travers les étapes marquantes de leur vie. Peuplée de 30000 habitants sous le Second Empire, deuxième ville du pays, comptant des populations ouvrières remuantes, Lyon est un terrain d'étude privilégié pour cette étude d'histoire sociale.
