Overview
This innovative book was written by women with disabilities and women professionals who work with persons with disabilities. It covers many concerns about life with a disability and issues related to disability and psychotherapy. The authors represent a variety of disabilities, ethnicities, sexualities, and politics. This diversity of experience and perspective forces readers to grapple with contradictions, paradox, and their own preconceptions about disabilities and women. These women writers reveal, in deeply personal, closely technical, and sometimes theoretical terms, how they have coped with the contradictions of being women, of being members of varied colors and classes, and having bodies that don't "fit." Readers will be fascinated by the illuminating depth and breadth of experience expressed by the authors.
