Not yet published
Expected 2 Jan 79A powerful, eye-opening insight into navigating the world as a disabled young woman
Women’s lives are shaped by sexism and expectations. Disabled people’s lives are shaped by ableism and a complete lack of expectations. But what happens when you’re subjected to both sets of rules?
This powerful, honest, hilarious, and furious memoir from journalist and advocate Lucy Webster looks at life at the the struggles, the joys, and the unseen realities of being a disabled woman. From navigating the worlds of education and work, dating, and friendship to managing care, contemplating motherhood, and learning to accept your body against a pervasive narrative that it is somehow broken and in need of fixing, The View From Down Here shines a light on what it really means to move through the world as a disabled woman.
