Pregnancy Declarations in 18th-Century France: The Judge, the Maid and Her Seducer

This book examines pregnancy declarations in eighteenth-century France, analyzing how unmarried pregnant women navigated legal requirements established by Henry II's 1556 edict that made concealing pregnancy a capital crime and created a legal presumption of infanticide if a newborn died without prior declaration.
