Sian Reynolds indicates how ladies in truth had either autonomy and authority in the political enviornment via their actions in social paintings, peace routine and moves, and in different components much less at once associated with traditional politics. Sian Reynolds brings jointly different types of historical past: the political historical past of France among the wars because it appears to be like in most cases textbooks, and the paintings conducted in women's historical past protecting an analogous interval. In doing so she creates a historical past within which gender contributes in new how one can historic research.

The historian of the Alliance Nationale puts it more strongly, claiming that most parliamentarians of the 1920s were more bothered about ‘the exchange rate than the birth rate…the falling franc rather than the falling number of children’ (Tomlinson 1986:147–9, 139). While both pronatalists and familialists found it hard to retain the average politician’s attention, the pronatalists were more successful in promoting their agenda. From a post-1968 point of view, the family movement, with its roots in Catholic values, was no doubt more ‘reactionary’ than the republican pronatalists described by Tomlinson.

As Joan Scott has said of family policies in general, political decisions were represented as protections of natural social relationships among family members, especially mothers and children, This kind of representation depicted social policy as outside politics—when in fact vast social and political reorganizations were being attempted or implemented. (Scott 1987:27) Similarly, Susan Pedersen has pointed out that certain French employer strategies in the 1920s and 1930s ‘have largely escaped the detection and scrutiny of historians because they operated through the legally autonomous, ostensibly benevolent and apolitical family allowance funds’ (Pedersen 1993b:288).

For fear of politics in the barracks, especially after the Dreyfus affair, the army was ‘la grande muette’. This further removed from the electorate in any given year thousands of young French conscripts who reached their twenty-first birthday while serving, as well as the 28,000 or so regular officers, plus varying numbers of enlisted men.
