bookwyrmed 's review for:
If I hadn't been reading this in public, I feel like I would have definitely been yelling at least twice a chapter. Not only is this a really good look at the social mechanics of gender and disability, but hearing that so many other people had experiences with navigating medicine that were nearly IDENTICAL to mine made me feel some kind of way. Also I appreciate that she actually seriously talks about how queerness and race complicate things, rather than taking the perspective that white cishet women have universal experiences and maybe throwing a couple of lines out about how it might be different for women of color and queer women. Which, even though Hirsch is Jewish and not straight (not sure of the specifics of her identity), is not a guaranteed thing.
