Martha Goddard

Martha Goddard appears in 116.不服从的艺术:分享一些实战方法,还有力量 as the Chicago social worker who developed the [[SexualAssaultEvidenceKit|sexual assault evidence kit]] in the 1970s. The source presents her work as a practical intervention in a legal and medical environment that often failed survivors of sexual violence.

The episode’s emphasis is on both invention and alliance. Goddard needed resources and legitimacy to get the kit adopted, and her eventual support from Hugh Hefner and Playboy created a complicated alliance: it helped spread the tool while also exposing her to further criticism.
