This article focuses on the relationship between psychiatry and homosexuality in the People's Republic of China from the Mao era to early Deng era (1949–c.90). I argue that, entangled with the multi-centred global psychopathological regime of homosexuality, the psychiatric discourse in China perpetuated a medicalised concept of homosexuality from the Mao period through the early Deng years. This article further situates homosexuality in Mao's China in the socialist camp to call for a decentring historiography of modern homosexuality. It also contributes to the understanding of the continuity between the Mao era and the Deng era.

Abstract In the spring of 1898, Emily Edith Uzielli, a married member of the London elite, underwent an abortion, which was illegal at the time. Mrs Uzielli died as a result of the procedure, and the abortionist, Dr Collins, was accused of murder. This article examines the interconnectivity between conceptions of femininity and ideas on consumerism and the criminality of abortions in late Victorian England. It demonstrates that contemporary discourses of gender and high‐powered consumption infiltrated and shaped the popular discourse of the criminality of abortions, which was depicted as closely linked to transgressions of domesticity. Through the exploration of press representations of the Uzielli case, I show that women's newly acquired liberty of promenading West End streets and shopping centres were paralleled with their alleged freedom to control family size, independently of their husbands, through the means of abortion. Abortion procuring was portrayed as yet another manifestation of such ‘feminine’ consumer practices.

Abstract This article offers a microhistorical reading of a criminal case of sexual violence in 1908 St Petersburg. It traces the re‐interpretation of underage girls from innocent victims to potential prostitutes and carriers of debauchery and disease. Furthermore, after this case, the perceptions shifted from pitied victim to source of threatening vengeance. This discursive shift took place in newspapers, court procedures but also in charity organisations encountering victims of sexual violence. While vengeance is usually reserved as a trope for framing the actions of adult victims of sexual violence, here it was explicitly applied to underage girls, thereby rendering victims of sexual violence a threat to Russian society.

Abstract The article traces the performative, familial, women‐centric, intergenerational storytelling tradition through studying Punjabi domestic tales collected in a private, intimate archive, in an ambience of mourning and celebration. Deploying the ‘archival turn’ in history‐writing, the author argues to include personal archive as a valid source in disciplinary history. Using the idea of ‘genders as genres’, the article argues that in female‐centred folktales, told to women and children, women assert their point of view, speak of their needs and desires, and hold their own. Though they may not dismantle caste‐specific patriarchies, patriarchies in folktales are also unable to subdue women.

Abstract This article re‐examines the evidence about childbirth and related topics in the posthumous miracle collections of English saints. It finds forty‐eight such miracles in collections of thirteen English saints, mostly from the century or so after 1170. The article argues that the context in which the stories were composed is vitally important to understanding how they can be used. Contemporary concerns with miracles that could be verified constrained what stories the hagiographers could use. The nature of pregnancy and birth also limited what information could come to the keepers at the shrine in charge of collecting such stories. However, the writers were not acting as an elite vetting the information, but rather cooperated with their informants and had a sympathetic and positive view of the pregnant women. The miracula reveal that, unfazed by even gruesome gynaecological issues, the male hagiographers showed some knowledge about the birthing process. By examining the body of stories, we show what the miracula can and cannot tell us about pregnancy and childbirth.

Abstract This article examines the dress of female civic rights activist Théroigne de Méricourt and its political significance in Revolutionary Paris. The first section discusses the symbolism of her iconic scarlet riding habit. The second section explores the role of equestrian fashions in Théroigne's strategy of self‐fashioning as a political actor. The third section considers the change of Théroigne's habit into a tricolour ensemble, traditionally interpreted as a parody of military garb. The fourth section argues that this new dress instead constituted a political uniform adopted by Théroigne and other militant women to further their campaign to acquire full citizenship rights.

Abstract LGBTQ people and the Evangelical Lutheran Church have a long history of tension in Finland. Christian queer activists have fought this tension since the late 1960s. This article asks how Christian queer activism was born and personally experienced in Finland from the late 1960s to the early 2000s. Theoretically, this article builds on queer history and affect theory. My data contains autobiographical texts and oral history interviews of the activists and their contemporaries, as well as statements by the Church, newspaper articles and a TV debate that help to contextualise the personal activist narratives. Using the method of close reading, I pay attention to affective circulation and moments in which activism emerged or started to decline. I argue that a wide circulation of negative affects attached to homosexuality in Finland in this era created an atmosphere that both inspired Christian queer activists to act, but as time went on, also caught them up in political despair when nothing seemed to change, making them reorient their activist hope.
