Recovering Women: Intimate Images and Legal Strategy

This article addresses the divergence between the lack of abortion legislation in Canada and women's own experiences obtaining abortions in Canada. The author addresses a mismatch between the public perception and the private experience and she connects women's experience with legal narratives as well as legal theory. The author asserts that ideological notions surrounding abortion can be reshaped by allowing women's experiences to inform the discourse of feminist strategy, partly through empowering women psychologically.
