Reproductive Rights in Modern France: Feminism, Contraception, and Abortion, 1950–1980. By Maud Anne Bracke
Notre-Dame de Bon Secours’: Celebrity, ambition and memory in the fashioning of Thérésia Cabarrus Tallien
Thérésia Cabarrus (Tallien), one of the best-known female names associated with the French Revolutionary years, emerged as an important point of contact in networks that helped individuals at risk flee France during the Terror. It became part of her claim to celebrity status as she navigated between the politics of the Old Regime and the new. Two aristocratic women she helped escape via Bordeaux wrote about her in their memoirs. While shaped by t…
Reconstructing the 1790s in Literature and Theater: The (Re)Invention of the Merveilleuses Under the Second Empire and Third Republic
The Directory (1795–1799) is often defined by the female fashion plates, the Merveilleuses, along with their male counterparts, the Incroyables, who also share the blame for the regime's corruption and short duration. However, their representation in contemporary documents differs from their outsized role in the French historical imaginary. Over the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, their image was reshaped by the Goncourt b…
‘Do dead men tell no tales?’ The geographic origin of a colonial period Anglican cemetery population in Adelaide, South Australia, determined by isotope analyses
Tooth enamel and dentine samples from 13 individuals buried in the unmarked ‘free ground’ colonial section of St Mary’s Anglican Cemetery in Adelaide were analysed for oxygen and strontium isotopic composition to assist with the determination of their geographic origin. As the life history of these individuals is not well-documented in the historical record, isotopic data provide important information about migration and mobility in a colonial So…
Working Girls: Sex, Taste, and Reform in the Parisian Garment Trades, 1880–1919, by Patricia Tilburg
Patricia Tilburg has written an excellent book on the Parisian midinette, the female garment worker who played a key role in the social imaginary of the belle époque. Named for the workingwoman’s noon lunch hour, the progenitor of the midinette was the grisette, the young (and usually coquettish) woman who supported herself by wage labour, a Romantic stock figure by the eighteenth century. The archetype of the grisette was etched in the public mi…
Richard Flamein. La société fluide: Une histoire des mobilités sociales (XVIIe–XIXesiècle)
La société fluide: Une histoire des mobilités sociales (XVIIe–XIXesiècle), Richard Flamein’s study of the Le Couteulx dynasty from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, contributes to the long historiographical debate over the nature of the bourgeoisie in Old Regime France. He challenges Sarah Maza’s contention, in The Myth of the French Bourgeoisie: An Essay in the Social Imaginary, 1750–1850 (2003), that there was no bourgeoisie in Fran…
The Gallic Singularity and the Royal Mistress
The relationship of the French king and royal mistress, complementary but unequal, embodied the Gallic singularity; the royal mistress exercised a civilizing manner and the soft power of women on the king's behalf. However, both her contemporaries and nineteenth- and early twentieth-century historians were uncomfortable with the mistress's political power. Furthermore, paradoxical attitudes about French womanhood have led to analyses of her role …
Henrietta Maria
Dominic Pearce’s biography of Charles I’s queen, Henrietta Maria, opens with a quarrel over her possessions when she died intestate in 1669. ‘To whom did they now belong? The same question can be asked about her legacy in history’. Asserting that the best way to answer the question is to follow her story, he launches into it, beginning with an account of the marriage of her mother, Marie de’ Medici, to her father, Henri IV of France. Henrietta Ma…
Venus of the Capitol”: Madame Tallien and the Politics of Beauty Under the Directory
Following the Terror and until the rise of Napoléon, beautiful women such as Thérésia Tallien occupied an important political and cultural position made possible by the particular historical context after Thermidor and under the Directory. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century biographers of Madame Tallien were so focused on her beauty, style, and reputation for promiscuity and so fascinated with the “corrupt” role of the Merveilleuses that it can be…
In the Public Interest: Charitable Association, the State, and the Status of utilité publique in Nineteenth-Century France
In her work on the bourgeois male of the nineteenth century, Carol E. Harrison argues that “Although French law made no distinction between male and female associations, administrative practice ignored women in groups.” Most historians accept this point of view—that French administrators generally ignored the associational activities of women, and, indeed, most female groups appear to have garnered little notice from authorities. While Annie Gran…

Constructing Mothers and Families: The Society for Maternal Charity of Bordeaux, 1805-1860
In its Compte rendu for the year 1813, the Society for Maternal Charity of Paris had recounted to its members and supporters the story of la femme Chastan, wife of a charbonnier, whom the society had assisted financially so that she could care for her children. Mme Chastan had given birth to triplets, and, addition to the three infants, which the mother breast-fed herself, this poor family still had a little girl of twenty-eight months. It was su…

Defining État in Eighteenth-Century France: The Lamothe Family of Bordeaux
In ancien rŕgime France, one's legal, social, personal, and professional situtation constituted one's état, or one's condition in life. The letters of the Lamothe family of eighteenth-century Bordeaux, a “bourgeois” family in the liberal professions, indicate the ways in which one provincial family defined and maintained its état in life, internal and external, personal and professional, public and private. For the Lamothe family, moderation and …
