本文分析了意大利战后的计划生育运动和避孕药的合法化（1971），以说明性规范和实践的更广泛变化过程、避孕的女性化以及生育中个人权利概念的出现。它将意大利计划生育运动视为跨国网络和全球议程的一部分，对计划生育仅作为个人解放场所的理解提出了问题，强调了支撑许多计划生育活动家运动的生殖机构的等级化。本书借鉴了意大利和美国计划生育者的档案、出版物和回忆录，首次对意大利计划生育运动在（非法）传播避孕药具和性信息方面的作用及其对避孕药合法化的关键贡献进行了学术分析。本文旨在在人口辩论全球化、世俗化、性别角色变化和新医疗技术的背景下，为战后时期生殖机构的社会政治谈判提供原创性贡献。
The article analyses post-war family planning campaigning in Italy and the legalization of the Pill (1971), in order to illustrate wider processes of change in sexual norms and practices, the feminization of contraception, and the emergence of notions of individual rights in procreation. Situating the Italian family planning movement as part of a transnational network and a global agenda, it problematizes understandings of family planning as a site of individual liberation only, highlighting the hierarchization of reproductive bodies that underpinned the campaigns of many family planning activists. Drawing on archives, publications and memoirs by family planners in Italy and the US, this is the first scholarly analysis of the Italian family planning movement’s role in the (illegal) distribution of contraception and sexual information, as well as its key contribution to the legalization of the Pill. The article aims to offer an original contribution to the socio-political negotiation of reproductive agency in the post-war period, set against the backdrop of the globalization of demographic debate, secularization, changing gender roles and new medical technologies.
