Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary, Resilient, Disabled Body by Rebekah Taussig

informative inspiring reflective

4.0

This was a great memoir with a lot of important discussions about disability and accessibility. It was a little slow to start for me, but once the essay on teaching started (which I loved particularly as an educator myself), I was totally engaged. So many people really need to read this book. It puts so many ideas about disability justice into a really digestible and engaging format. It did seem to be written with an awareness of the part of her audience that are able-bodied which I understand but I did find myself wanting to hear more of what her voice without that layer of caution. Over all, this was a really great book -- definitely a great one to pick up to learn more about disability.
