À propos de cette écoute
A story of female unity that transcends generations. Based on the true story of the Jane Collective, an illegal underground abortion service, Looking for Jane reimagines the fraught battle for reproductive rights and the women who demanded the right to choose.
Just tell them you're looking for Jane....
1960
It starts with a phone call, with someone looking for Jane. They are put through to Dr Evelyn Taylor, a member of the Jane Network who provides safe but illegal abortions. No names are exchanged. No identities are revealed. And no one knows Evelyn is still traumatised by being forced to give her own baby up for adoption years before. Now, despite harrowing police raids and the constant threat of arrest, Evelyn is determined to give other women the choice she never had.
1970
A doctor once told Nancy Mitchell that if she ever found herself 'in a position' she should find Jane. Now, positive pregnancy test in hand, Nancy starts her search. Soon she's the newest volunteer for the Jane Network, desperately trying to help others while family secrets threaten everything she knows to be true.
2020
Angela Creighton finds a letter containing a life-shattering confession. In her search for the recipient, she discovers a book about the Jane Network by Dr Evelyn Taylor. Contacting the author, Evelyn realises Angela and her mysterious letter might hold the key to providing her the closure she's been searching decades for.
Spanning decades, Evelyn, Nancy and Angela's lives intertwine to reveal the devastating consequences that come from a lack of choice and the buried truths that will always find a way to the surface....

An eternal fight
This book perfectly describes what unmarried pregnant women had to go through before the legalisation of abortion, their mental and physical sufferings, the abuse they had to endure as well as the total lack of support for mostly very young women who where treated as outcasts and where abandoned by society even if they fell pregnant as a result of rape or ignorance and of course the consequences for their future lives and the lives of their children. And the battle is not over, women will always have to keep on fighting for their rights, you just have to look at what is happening in certain states of the US
