Now available from Indiana University Press:

Feminist Disability Studies
Edited by Kim Q. Hall

"Puts feminist theory and disability studies into conversation with one
another, not simply to make for an 'additive' approach, but to transform
both fields of inquiry." --Diane Herndl, Iowa State University

Disability, like questions of race, gender, and class, is one of the most
provocative topics among theorists and philosophers today. This volume,
situated at the intersection of feminist theory and disability studies,
addresses questions about the nature of embodiment, the meaning of
disability, the impact of public policy on those who have been labeled
disabled, and how we define the norms of mental and physical ability. The
essays here bridge the gap between theory and activism by illuminating
structures of power and showing how historical and cultural perceptions of
the human body have been informed by and contributed to the oppression of
women and disabled people.
