Karen Offen offers a magisterial reconstruction and analysis of the
debates around relations between women and men, how they are
constructed, and how they should be organized, that raged in France
and its French-speaking neighbors from 1870 to 1920. The 'woman
question' encompassed subjects from maternity and childbirth, and
the upbringing and education of girls to marriage practices and
property law, the organization of households, the distribution of
work inside and outside the household, intimate sexual relations,
religious beliefs and moral concerns, government-sanctioned
prostitution, economic and political citizenship, and the politics
of population growth. The book shows how the expansion of economic
opportunities for women and the drop in the birth rate further
exacerbated the debates over their status, roles, and
possibilities. With the onset of the First World War, these debates
were temporarily placed on hold, but they would be revived by 1916
and gain momentum during France's post-war recovery.
