SCAVONE, Lucila; BRETIN, Hélène  and  THEBAUD-MONY, Annie. Contracepção, controle demográfico e desigualdades sociais: análise comparativa franco-brasileira. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 1994, vol.02, n.02, pp.357-372. ISSN 1806-9584.

This article discusses how contraceptives are prescribed and used in France and Brazil, comparing statistical data based on the hypothesis that women's command over their fertility is proportional to the society's respective level of development. The comparative figures show striking social and sexual inequalities for the two countries.
