Description
A powerful and honest memoir from journalist Lucy Webster explores life as a disabled young woman. Navigating the complexities of sexism, ableism, and societal expectations can be overwhelming, but what happens when these forces intersect? This memoir shines a light on the struggles, joys, and unseen realities of being a disabled woman. From education and work to dating, friendship, care, and motherhood, Webster shares her experiences of living with physical disabilities. She offers a candid look at how societal narratives can shape our perceptions of ourselves and our bodies. With humor, frustration, and resilience, she recounts her journey towards acceptance and empowerment. Through her story, Webster challenges the pervasive narrative that disability is somehow broken or in need of fixing. Instead, she presents a powerful vision of what it means to move through the world as a disabled woman.
