- Synopsis
- A 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 intersection: 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 theworld as a disabled woman.
