Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-First Century

Join us April 25th at 6:00 p.m. for our book club. Each participant will receive a copy of the book Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-First Century by Alice Wong prior to that date so you will have time to read it and discuss it.  

“Disability rights activist Alice Wong brings tough conversations to the forefront of society with this anthology. It sheds light on the experience of life as an individual with disabilities, as told by none other than authors with these life experiences. It's an eye-opening collection that readers will revisit time and time again.” —Chicago Tribune

One in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some disabilities are visible, others less apparent—but all are underrepresented in media and popular culture. Activist Alice Wong brings together this urgent, galvanizing collection of contemporary essays by people with disabilities.
