Reviews
""More than most collections of essays, this one is integrated by the editors' clearly articulated intention to unite politics and scholarship, disability studies and women's studies, theory, analysis, and action. They have succeeded remarkably well in finding (or perhaps helping to shape) essays that make those necessary connections."" --The Women's Review of Books ""This timely book offers needed scholarship and astute analysis aimed at promoting positive self-images among disabled women. In the process, the book shows how it is possible to counter conventional stereotypes that demean and degrade."" --New Directions for Women ""As feminists who are also disabled, the editors are uniquely qualified to present this overview of the connections and divisions between nondisabled and disabled women. Viewing the position of women with disabilities from a socialist feminist perspective, they emphasize that there can be no true equality of rights and opportunity witout honest appreciation by the majority of the physical and emotional differences of those who have grown up on the fringes of society."" --Belles Lettres ""By introducing gender into the analysis of disability, this collection makes an important contribution to understnading the personal and societal politics of disability rights and their necessary connection to the feminist movement...This collection is for anyone interested in human relations and human rights."" --Choice
