This book was so worth the wait from the library. I loved the variation of essay topics. I learned more about ableism in prisons. The essay about parenting with a disability truly touched my heart as a disabled woman who wants to be a mother someday. I constantly doubt myself because of internalized ableism but that essay brought tears to my eyes. I deeply understood the emotions of anger, love, and community in this anthology. I didn’t know how hungry I was to read something meant for me until Disability Visibility was in my hands. I recommend this to all people, but you should especially read this if you’re disabled.
