Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body by Rebekah TaussigMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is exceptionally eye-opening and honest. I appreciate Taussig's warmth, candor, and humor as she details what it's like to be disabled and more importantly the lack of conversation about disability and ableism in our society. The images of young Rebekah playing and imagining that she could be someone's girlfriend or an adventurer or a whole host of other things only to realize later that no one sees that in her future because of her disability is haunting. We can and need to do better. Read it. It's worth your time--
Happy reading--
ps. Also - what a great title.
