1940s: (Statistics Have to Be Used with Caution: Comhaire-Sylvain Acknowledging “However Statistics Have to Be Used with Caution” Specifically Referring to the Fact That Data for Identifying Population Growth Were Based on Catholic Baptismal Records and Did Not Include Births Outside of Hospitals or Outside of Legal Marriage, These Silences in the Archive Foretelling the LFAS’s Political Focus on Women’s Social and Financial Freedoms in 1944 and 1945): Comhaire-Sylvain acknowledged that statistics have to be used with caution. She specifically referred to the fact that the data for identifying population growth were based on Catholic baptismal records. The data did not include births outside of hospitals or outside of legal marriage. These silences in the archive foretold the LFAS’s political focus on women’s social and financial freedoms in 1944 and 1945. The children who did not exist in the parish records were the same children the illegitimacy law punished, the archival silence and the legal violence working in concert.
