Bigger
Than the Sky: Disabled Women on Parenting, by Michele Wates,
challenges rigid, limiting views of what it means to be a disabled
woman, and of what a parent is and does. Disabled women describe
having to fight for the right to become pregnant, the poignant
pleasure of teaching children the benefits of having a "different"
mother; and the sheer delight of involving themselves in a child's
life. Whether it be a birth mother, an adoptive parent, a godparent,
a friend, or a woman who has made a positive choice not to become
a parent, these disabled women are asserting their right to
explore the diversity of experience. And in breaking free of
society's restrictive definitions and taboos, the writers in
this collection
demonstrate that the possibilities are limitless for people
with disabilities. |
