Zusammenfassung:Published in 1973 and set in the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship (1964-1985), the novel The girl in the photograph, by Lygia Fagundes Telles, accompanies three young women living in a boarding school who build, in alternate voices, a complex narrative capable of covering both everyday life and the socio-political reality of the period. Through an analysis of law in the literature, the present research focused on the positions of the protagonists of the novel to investigate the many ways that Law can take on in its relationship with people, especially women--or, better, how its presence (or absence) can result in oppression and violence. It was concluded, in the end, not only the revolutionary potential of testimony literature for the revival of collective memory and the denunciation of social injustices, but also--and mainly--the permanence of the criticisms extracted from the novel to the sexist, indifferent and conniving structures of the Brazilian law. Keywords: Dictatorship; Law; Literature; Feminism; Testimony. Publicado em 1973 e ambientado na ditadura civil-militar brasileira (1964-1985), o romance As meninas, de Lygia Fagundes Telles, acompanha tres jovens mulheres moradoras de um pensionato que constroem, a vozes alternadas, uma narrativa complexa capaz de abranger tanto o jogo do cotidiano quanto a realidade sociopolitica do periodo. Por meio de uma analise do direito na literatura, a presente pesquisa se debrucou sobre as posicoes das protagonistas do romance para investigar as muitas formas de que pode se revestir o Direito em sua relacao com as pessoas, especialmente as mulheres--ou, de maneira mais especifica, como sua presenca (ou ausencia) pode resultar em opressao e violencia. Concluiu-se, ao fim, nao so pelo potencial revolucionario da literatura de testemunho para o avivamento da memoria coletiva e a denuncia das injusticas sociais, mas tambem--e principalmente--pela permanencia das criticas extraidas do romance as estruturas sexistas, indiferentes e coniventes do Direito brasileiro. Palavras-chave: Direito; Ditadura; Feminismo; Literatura; Testemunho.
