Description: Blessed Motherhood, Bitter Fruit : Nelly Roussel And the Politics of Female Pain in Third Republic France, Hardcover by Accampo, Elinor Ann, ISBN 0801884047, ISBN-13 9780801884047, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Accampo (history, U. of Southern California) presents a biography of French feminist, journalist, and public speaker Nelly Roussel (1). Roussel argued that women have the right to pursue self-fulfillment regardless of their social, marital, or maternal status, and that they also have the right to avoid pain. She advocated a radical transformation of both private and public life by explicitly associating a woman's autonomy and capacity for full political citizenship with her control over her own body--including the use of birth control--all of which threatened the very foundation of the political culture and bourgeois belief systems that dominated the Third Republic. The text examines reactions to Roussel and to her doctrine as a means of illuminating the gender system in France and its relationship to political culture.
