Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves

'the body of a female masturbator might even create its own offspring, independent of human action. Physician G. A. Douglas argued in his book, The Nature and Causes of Impotence in Men, and Barrenness in Women (1758), that false conceptions could be caused by self-abuse. He suggested that women needed vaginal stimulation in order to make an egg descend. If a woman used “those shameful implements” to stimulate herself, she would produce an egg that would remain unfertilised and grow so that it resembled a pregnancy. Women, he warned, “should know this and tremble”.'

Once again from Wonders and Marvels

And for the song reference see Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin singing Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves.

And a great version by some goth dudes

The Smashing Pumpkins and Georges Méliès

For those who don't know, the Smashing Pumpkin's Tonight, Tonight video was based largely on the work of the early filmmaker Georges Méliès, after whom the ship carrying the music video's protagonists is named. Méliès' Voyage dans la Lune was the main inspiration:

La Sirène was another film that likely gave shape to the undersea scene

Méliès was made a fictional character in the recent book and movie Hugo. It also stars an automaton!
