Contraceptives are at the center of countless dramas of "everyday resistance" involving struggles for power between genders and generations (Scott 1985). In most demographic scholarship such dramas are obscured by emphasis on the "big picture" of broad demographic changes. This article is part of the intellectual movement toward the goal of viewing such huge social transformations from the ground on which they occur-the daily lives of men and women-in order to challenge existing demographic descriptions of fertility change that ignore conflict resistance and subversion in the ways fertility is regulated.

On February 17, 1935, the humor column of the Asahi Shinbun, a nationally distributed daily newspaper, was devoted to spoofing an attempted lesbian double suicide that had taken place about three weeks earlier. The “feminine” partner was Saijo Eriko, a 23-year-old “woman’s role-player” (musumeyaku) in a popular all-female revue, and the “masculine” partner, 27-year old Masuda Yasumare, an affluent and zealous fan of the actress (figure12.1).1 (Yasumare was a masculine name that she chose for herself; her parents had named her Fumiko.)

L'A. montre de quelle maniere les premiers textes pornographiques modernes envisagent et mettent en scene le plaisir et la sexualite feminine. Elle passe en revue les livres pornographiques, publies entre 1655 et 1745 en France et en Grande-Bretagne, qui ont connu le plus de succes. Elle porte plus particulierement son attention sur «L'Ecole des filles» et sur l'ouvrage de Nicolas Chorier «Satyra sotadica». Ces deux ouvrages presentent differents recits, destines aux femmes, d'initiation sexuelle

L'A. evoque les debats qui ont oppose, entre 1835 et 1907, partisans et adversaires du Deceased Wife's Sister Bill qui interdit a un veuf d'epouser la soeur de sa femme decedee. Il montre que cette loi s'inscrit dans le contexte de la culture victorienne et reflete certaines representations concernant les relations entre frere et soeur, la consanguinite, la sexualite, la passion amoureuse et l'organisation de la famille. Il revele que ce debat a trouve un certain nombre d'echos dans la litterature anglaise du 19 e siecle, notamment dans l'oeuvre de Felicia Skene, dans celle de Mulock Craik et dans celle de William Clark Russell.

amously analyzed by Michel Foucault in Discipline and Punish, the restructuring of the socio-symbolic economy of illegalities was a crucial element in the rise of the middle classes in eighteenth-century France (1979). In this essay I explore how art practices participated in this bourgeois "redistribution of illegalities" (Foucault 1979, 87). In my view, the cultural work of recoding criminality in France may be usefully understood as part of a larger cultural "project" of middle-class self-representation.' As

We pride ourselves that the women's literary tradition is hospitable to women struggling to express themselves despite limited education, limited means, and of course limited time apart from the domestic duties (drudgeries even!) customarily assigned them. Truth to life rather than literary power is our overriding criterion. Moers's enthusiasm for genius has not proved as irresistible as her more general reflections on "what it meant to be at once a woman and a writer."
