Summary:
"Since its 2016 debut, the
New
York
Times
"
Disability
" column has transformed the national dialogue around
disability
. This collection of
essays
from the column captures the voices of a community that has been stereotyped and misrepresented. The authors offer intimate stories of how they navigate a world not built for them, and in doing so reveal the range of responses, and the variety of consequences, to being labeled as "disabled" by the broader public." -- adapted from jacket.
