This volume consists of critical and theoretical articles about women with disabilities in both developed and developing countries. It is based on the premise that it is important for feminist research to define a space for women with disabilities in order to establish where they stand in the ‘public mass culture’. The contributors maintain that women with disabilities face a triple challenge: as women, as disabled, and as women with disabilities. They highlight not only the discriminations faced by disabled women but also the transitions made by them in their search for new worlds.
