/ BRIET, FELAG UNGRA FEMINISTA fangelsi þar sem það er löglegt í Jórdaníu að drepa konu sem haldið hefur fram hjá. Við kynnumst Emeraude frá Frakklandi sem getur ekki unnið næturvinnu þar sem það er ólöglegt í Frakklandi fyrir konur að vinna á næturna i verksmiðjum, námum eða byggingarvinnu. Leikritið varð feikna vinsælt og setti það mikinn svip á ráðstefnuna. Jones segir að drifkraftur verka sinna sé reiði yfir því hvernig við höfum verið blekkt og svikin af þeim ímynd- um sem við fáum frá samfélaginu, frá staðalmyndunum og þeim furðulegu hugmyndum um hver sé flottur og hver ekki. Hún heldur áfram og segir: „Við eigum langt í land þangað til að femínískar hugsjónir verða ríkjandi meðal kvenna. I dag ættum við auðveldara með að fá kon- ur til að berjast undir merkjum grennri læra heldur en að berjast fyrir jafnrétti og jöfnum tækifærum." Með verkum sínum vonast Sara Jones til að vekja fólk til umhugsunar um það samfélagslega misrétti sem við búum við enn þann dag í dag og til að hvetja fólk til að leggja sitt á vogarskálarnar til að bæta heiminn. í febrúar 2003, eftir miklar lagaflækjur og kærur fram og tilbaka, dró bandaríska fjarskiptastofnunin úrskurð sinn um lagið Your Revolution til baka.
