Sommario/riassunto

« La femme doit avoir sa liberté, la liberté fondamentale de choisir si elle sera ou non mère et combien d'enfants elle aura. » Margaret Sanger, Woman and the New Race.  Cet ouvrage retrace le parcours de Margaret Sanger, pionnière de la lutte en faveur du contrôle des naissances aux États-Unis au début du xxe siècle. Féministe d'avant-garde, radicale, provocatrice, Margaret Sanger reste une figure incontournable et controversée de l'histoire de la lutte pour la liberté de contraception. Les textes ici présentés mettent en perspective ses combats pour l'accès aux moyens contraceptifs et à l'éducation sexuelle envisagée comme une arme contre la pauvreté et l'oppression des femmes à une époque où la propagande anticonceptionnelle était encore prohibée aux États-Unis. Ses écrits permettent par ailleurs de comprendre les principaux fondements idéologiques des transformations intervenues près d'un demi-siècle plus tard avec les revendications portées par les féministes américaines de la deuxième



vague. Sortir de l'obscurité posthume cette femme visionnaire, telle est l'ambition de cet ouvrage qui, en mettant en exergue l'histoire passée, nous éclaire sur les enjeux actuels de la question des droits reproductifs.

Sommario/riassunto

The Bank of England's current "quantitative easing" strategy has given rise to a controversial debate about the effects and risks of unconventional monetary policy. The present paper makes two contributions to this debate. First, it provides a systematic overview of unconventional policy options, drawing from existing theoretical and empirical studies. Against this backdrop, it then analyzes the BoE's specific policies, discussing their effectiveness so far and putting them into a cross-country context. Tentative evidence on the BoE's quantitative easing is moderately encouraging, although the strategy is neither guaranteed to succeed nor as perilous as some of its detractors claim.
