Nearly 42.5 million Americans live with diverse disabilities, and advocates have long fought to overcome a structurally ableist society — one that discriminates against disabled people via its institutions, design and culture. Ableism assumes typical abilities are superior, and that people with disabilities need “fixing” — that they are defined by their disability, as opposed living in a deficit-mindset society, engineered for the nondisabled. This collection offers stories of the diverse lived experiences of disability that honor the Disability Community’s history, achievements, and struggles.
