Book Discussion

ONLINE - Go Big Read Book Discussion

Join us for our final discussion of Sitting Pretty: the view from my ordinary resilient disabled body by Rebecca Taussig! 

Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the 90s and early 2000s, Rebekah Taussig only saw disability depicted as something monstrous (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), inspirational (Helen Keller), or angelic (Forrest Gump). None of this felt right; and as she got older, she longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling.
