Books by Harilyn Rousso

A disabled woman confronts body image, sexuality, bias, discrimination and condescension as she fashions an independent and fulfilling life

Women with disabilities face a double set of prejudices, based on gender and disability. Rousso encourages and charges women with disabilities to make choices which go beyond society's streotypes and reflect their own unique talents, interests, and dreams, while at the same time taking into account their real limitations and needs.
