Bess of Hardwick: Second Most Powerful Woman of the Elizabethan Age and a Symbol of Modern Thought
No full textWhile not a very elegant representation of Bess of Hardwick, this quatrain nevertheless introduces a striking and unique character of an Elizabethan woman. Many studies on Elizabethan women focus on the subjugated place of females in that society. However, women, such as Bess of Hardwick, existed, and did not fit within these stereotypes, much like the poem by one of Bess’ contemporaries indicates. Often, since these women are minorities in sixteenth century England, they are overlooked entirely and not given proper credit for their accomplishments and services to crown and country. This is an ungracious disservice to the women who influenced Elizabethan society, becoming strong leaders. Despite the socio-legal factors working against women in Tudor England, Bess of Hardwick, noblewoman and leader in her own right, defied the odds and held authority often only assigned to men. Not only did she attain considerable wealth, and influence in sixteenth century society, even in the royal succession, but she also broke through the barriers that generally obstructed women of the Elizabethan age, namely inferior position in marriage and society, and confinement to gender stereotypic roles

Réécrire l'histoire de la sexualité, un entretien avec Julie Hardwick autour de Sex in an Old Regime City (2020)
No full textSex in an Old Regime City: young workers and intimacy in France, 1660-1789, published by Julie Hardwick at Oxford University Press in 2020, has given me the opportunity to imagine an interview with her on the history of sexuality in Lyon. This questionnaire was broadly based on the (more than topical) issues concerning the politics of gender relations and sexuality, in addition to deepening her historiographical choices.To briefly recall who Julie Hardwick is: Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin, she was received as Distinguished Professor at the Austin Academy in 2019. Her research crosses legal, economic and social history, highlighted by the gendered dimension of social relations within communities.Sex in an Old Regime City: young workers and intimacy in France, 1660-1789, publié aux éditions Oxford University Press en 2020 par Julie Hardwick, a été l’occasion pour nous d’imaginer un entretien portant sur l’histoire de la sexualité à Lyon, ce questionnaire s’inscrivant plus largement autour d’enjeux (plus que d’actualité) concernant la politique des rapports genrés, et de la sexualité, en plus de l’approfondissement de ses choix historiographiques.Pour rappeler brièvement qui est Julie Hardwick : professeure d’histoire à l’Université du Texas à Austin, elle est reçue professeure distinguée à l’Académie d’Austin en 2019. Ses recherches sont axées sur des thématiques au croisement de l’histoire légale, économique et sociale, mises en relief par la dimension genrée des rapports sociaux au sein des communautés.Cet entretien a été entièrement composé et mené par Chloé Blanchard

Life After Hardwick
No full textUnless or until it is narrowed or overruled, Bowers v. Hardwick will dominate the law concerning government regulation of sexuality. In Hardwick the Supreme Court upheld as constitutional a Georgia sodomy statute that made oral or anal intercourse a felony punishable by up to twenty years in prison. The Court ended its long reluctance to assess the constitutionality of limitations on sexuality as distinct from contraception by ruling that the protected zone created by the privacy right stops short of covering private consensual sexual relations between adults. In so ruling, the Court left in place a patchwork of prohibitory laws in which identical acts are immunized or criminalized as one traverses state borders
