Resources on feminism and women with disabilities
A thread http://www.livejournal.com/community/feminist/2303506.html?thread=62701074 on a recent post in feminist made me think I should post a list of resources I’ve put together on feminism and women with disabilities. The list is about a year or so old, and new books have come out since, plus I’ve run across others that should be on the list - when I have time to add them! So it’s not comprehensive by any means, but a start, at least, for anyone interested in women and disability.
