This book is a must-read for anyone. This book is a collection of essays from various people with disabilities coming from many different backgrounds. Each essay brings a unique perspective and story to help show the reader the disadvantages society makes people have when they have any sort of disability. This book really taught me how intersectionality discourse widely leaves people with disabilities out of the conversation. It really opened my eyes to a whole group of people that we need to be including in all of these conversations about equality and equity in our communities. Please read this book, especially if you've been fighting for racial/gender/sexuality/etc. equality. Equality won't come for anyone if we don't include people with disabilities in the conversation.
