520    Most women's lives are touched by disability, either their
       own limitations or those of someone for whom they care; 
       and the institutionalized inequality that women face is no
       less a reality for women with disabilities. Yet to a great
       extent the feminist and disability communities have failed
       to form a significant coalition or even to comprehend 
       women's experiences of disability. Written from Barbara 
       Hillyer's perspective as a teacher of feminist theory and 
       the mother of a young woman with multiple disabilities, 
       Feminism and Disability blends personal, political, and 
       intellectual insights to enrich both feminist theory and 
       disability theory. It explores issues of vital concern to 
       women with disabilities and women caregivers: body 
       awareness, community and reciprocity, fatigue, the 
       supposed dichotomy between nature and technology, 
       codependence. and recovery programs. The ways in which 
       cultural standards of language, independence, pace, 
       cheerfulness, mother-blaming, and grief limit our 
       understanding are explained and confronted. Throughout, 
       Hillyer advocates that women recognize and integrate 
       weakness along with strength. The text challenges 
       political movements that emphasize productivity and 
       normalization to accommodate some less heroic aspects of 
       the human condition: that all people need help in 
       development at all stages; that death is not always the 
       worst thing that can happen to a person; that senility and
       degenerative diseases undermine belief in life as a growth
       process; that some losses cannot be restored. Being 
       limited and knowing it, Hillyer shows, permit both 
       compassion and political cooperation. Feminism and 
       Disability is a scholarly tour de force, a comprehensive 
       survey of various specialized literatures decoded and 
       compared in light of women's autobiographical narratives 
       of limitation and ability. Its conclusions are bold and 
       liberating. Certain to be a milestone in the development 
       of feminism and disability rights, it offers a new, 
       holistic view that will energize discourse, influence 
       policy, and change lives.
