| Working Against Odds: Stories of Disabled Women’s Work Livesby Mary Grimley Mason
With great warmth and eloquence, Mary Grimley Mason draws on 30 interviews of women living with disabilities who reveal in their own words the way they see themselves, how they perceive being seen by others, and their experiences in the workplace. The women range in age, race, ethnic and class backgrounds with different types of physical and sensory impairments. We are given a rare view into the lives and hearts of these women as we hear how they came to terms with her disability and achieved self-identity and self-sufficiency in an able-bodied world. |
