She longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling. Here she writes about the rhythms and textures of what it means to live in a body that doesn't fit. Taussig reflects on everything from the complications of kindness and charity, living both independently and dependently, experiencing intimacy, and how the pervasiveness of ableism in our everyday media directly translates to everyday life. She shows how disability affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at one point or another--Adapted from jacket. 600 10 $a Taussig, Rebekah. 650 0 $a Paraplegics $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women with disabilities $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Disabilities. 650 0 $a People with disabilities. 650 0 $a Women. 600 12 $a Taussig, Rebekah. 650 2 $a Disabled Persons 650 2 $a Women 651 2 $a United States 650 6 $a ParapleÌgiques $z EÌtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Femmes handicapeÌes $z EÌtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Handicap. 650 6 $a Personnes handicapeÌes. 650 6 $a Femmes. 650 7 $a physically handicapped. $2 aat 650 7 $a handicapped. $2 aat 650 7 $a women (female humans) $2 aat 650 7 $a Women $2 fast 650 7 $a People with disabilities $2 fast 650 7 $a Disabilities $2 fast 650 7 $a Paraplegics $2 fast 650 7 $a Women with disabilities $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 650 7 $a Paraplegics $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Handicapped women $v Biography. $2 sears 655 2 $a Autobiography 655 7 $a autobiographies (literary works) $2 aat 655 7 $a Autobiographies $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231010155524.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD6786E667AB11EE8EDED465333FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
