In looking at the intersection of sexuality and disability, this nonfiction anthology challenges readers to confront how America deals with difference. Writers represent a broad range of disabilities... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Browthworth and Raffo have succeeded in collecting queer women with disabilities to contribute to an excellent grouping of experiences and points of view. The diversity of the authors lends itself to an amazing range of lifestyles, choices, and events. Each author brings originality and clarity to their opinions partially formed by who they are and how society interacts with them. I found each piece added to a larger harmony and that the differences in ideologies and experiences enhanced my knowledge of women with disabilities. Society could truly benefit by making this book a prerequisite for entering the world.

As a fan of Victoria Bronworth's writing and a lesbian with a disability, this anthology is not only long-overdue, it is compelling and diverse. It includes essays from women with all disabilities including mental, AIDS and CFIDS, as well as different backgrounds and perspectives.
