Résumé
The Mouvement pour la liberté de l’avortement et de la contraception (MLAC) (Movement for the Freedom of Abortion and Contraception) provides a case study for examining doctor-lay collaborations and the critique of expertise. At the heart of the MLAC’s efforts, the co-production of knowledge about the body had contradictory effects. Focusing on minority experiences that extended activist efforts into the first half of the 1980s reveals the conditions for a feminist appropriation of knowledge based on distancing from doctors and their epistemic authority.
