Academic Riot Grrrls: Bang and the Conditions of 1990s Mainstream Feminism in Sweden
Sustainability and Swedish Women's History: Digitizing Photographs from the KvinnSam Archives
Digitization has traditionally been viewed as a method of preservation and accessibility facilitation. This definition has resulted in a sense that objectives of sustainability are somehow built into the process of digitization, allowing institutions to not thoroughly or systematically consider what digitization and digitized collections are, how to ensure access over time, and how these groupings of digital files relate to larger collection mana…
Representing women across the public/private divide: Kerstin Hesselgren's image in the Swedish digital archives
It is through archives that private lives become constitutive of public historical memory, and this translation is nowhere more apparent than with highly social objects like the photograph. Photographs have uniquely malleable meanings. According to photographic anthropologist Elizabeth Edwards, these ‘relational objects’ function as mediatory materials, ‘image-objects in sets of relationships that are made meaningful through different forms of ap…
Pioneers and Feminisms: The Swedish Suffrage Movement as Archival Boundary Object
Feminist historiography is rife with debates about the nature and boundaries of women’s movements.

Birth Control in Britain: Part I
The first nationally representative study of attitudes to contraception and of birth control practices has recently been undertaken by the Population Investigation Committee in collaboration with Social Surveys (Gallup Poll) Ltd. This paper presents some of the results obtained from interviews with about 2,350 men and women married since the first World War; almost all of these people were prepared to talk fairly freely about contraception, thoug…
Birth Control in Britain
Birth control in Britain: Part II
This paper examines the contraceptive methods adopted by the men and women married between 1930 and 1960 who participated in the Population Investigation Committee's nationally representative Marriage Survey. In contrast to American patterns, withdrawal (coitus interruptus) was almost as popular in Britain as the sheath (or condom), each of these methods being adopted at some time by nearly half the users. The “safe period” or rhythm method (16 p…
