suzig 's review for:
This book is SO good. As a young woman with chronic pain / chronic illness / disability, I found it so very relatable and relevant to my daily life. I felt like I was highlighting a good half of the book! But while the book was hard to put down, I could also only read the book in chunks, because I would get all full of righteous indignation and social justice feels. Definitely not a relaxing before bed book. Lent Hirsch does a really great job of working to be intersectional in her analysis. She brings in many queer, trans, and POC narratives and points out straight/cis/white/thin/class privilege. This book felt affirming and energizing. Though it catalogues the many depressing and heavy social/institutional obstacles in our way, it feels hopeful. Hopeful because people like Lent Hisch are speaking out their lived experience, advocating for themselves and others, and demanding better from society.
