- Synopsis
- With Wings is an anthology of stories, poems, and essays by thirty women writers, all of whom have a disability or physical difference. The volume was compiled with several goals in mind: to combat educational discrimination, both sexist and ableist, against disabled women and girls; to enhance the self-esteem of disabled women and girls by presenting positive role models; to provide a literary forum for the experiences of disabled women of different social classes; and to challenge the literary community to follow suit, recognizing works by disabled women. The book is divided into three thematic parts: Living in These Bodies, These Minds; Seeking Help and Love; and Transcendence. Contributors include Nancy Mairs, Muriel Rukeyser, Alice Walker, Adrienne Rich, and many less well-known writers.
