...through the rhythm method. Even then it was known that peasant women, because of their exhausting chores and lack of nourishment, usually have irregular menstrual cycles. Moreover, the colored beads that the government distributed to the peasants for keeping track of the days-green for "go" and red for "stop"-failed for the astonishing reason that many women never looked at them until the lights were out, and then the colors were indistinguishable...
With so much dissension and so many restrictions to haunt them, it might be wondered why the French leftist parties had bothered to sign the agreement at all.
