Résumé
Gillian Calder and Rebecca Johnson return Part I full circle to focus on Jane Doe’s The Story of Jane Doe, discussed in the first chapter, as a piece of feminist law-making. By paying attention to the details of the book’s layout, use of text, photographs, and news files, they show how Jane Doe made brilliant use of art — not only Shary Boyle’s but her own — and of narrative to tell her story. Gillian and Rebecca challenge the notion that “law” exists separately from activism and art, arguing that Jane Doe’s book is not only a book, but is also a feminist activism against sexual assault, as vividly shown by the Garneau Sisterhood’s postering campaign, and is more important than the Jane Doe case itself for its disruptive intervention in women’s struggles to end sexual assault
