[Women and family policy between ambivalence and implication].
The eighties mark the Québec government's setting up of a family policy. But all the facts indicate that this policy wavered between a family policy, a birth policy and a population policy. Women's groups and feminists, already reticent in dealing with traditional family and maternity institutions, were possessed with somewhat of an ambivalent attitude towards these policies mostly because of their fear of being trapped and undermined. All in all, it's the will to disseminate their point of view and to defend their interests that motivated women to get involved in these debates. The article concludes by advancing principles that should promote a family policy that is more sensitive to women's interests.
