Women with intellectual disabilities face specific problems in writing about their lives. Some of these problems relate to their disability, others to the way they are perceived by the broader communities in which they live. These stories challenge the prevailing stereotypes about women with intellectual disabilities as a homogeneous group in need of care and protection. Throughout the book, women's experiences from different countries and cultures are represented. Their personal stories and feminist scholarship are linked together, to provide new and important perspectives on issues of gender and disability. This book will be particularly important for policy workers and practitioners in the disability field, as well as to sociologists and psychologists.
