| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book provides the first comprehensive exploration of the issues affecting the lives of women with intellectual disabilities. Women from all over the world, with and without intellectual disabilities, have collaborated to write about their lives, their experiences and their hopes for the future. Different aspects of life - work, family, relationships and community involvement - are discussed. Some of the women have found, or are finding, fulfilling, happy, creative lifestyles. One message which emerges from many of their stories is that their intellectual disability is less of a problem than the social and economic discrimination these women experience. This book thus raises important questions about society's attitudes to women with intellectual disabilities

It is also a place where these women's stories - from the sad or disturbing to the happy, moving or inspirational - can be heard. The book's plain English versions of chapters will ensure that it is accessible to other women with intellectual disabilities."--Jacket
