- This is the first monograph dealing with abortion and contraception in Modern Greece (up to 1967). It is a mixed methods, interdisciplinary study (demography, history of medicine, sexuality, law, religion) that involves analysis of an extensive range of sources: medical publications, demographic data, folklore, newspapers, empirical ‘medical’ treatments, confessional columns in women’s magazines, and especially oral histories that the author conducted as early as 1994 and at later dates in Mykonos, Athens, Hios and Syros. The author started working on the book in 2008. Research took place in libraries and archives in Athens, Hios and Princeton.
