Sinossi

This work explores and develops ideas about disability, engaging with important debates in disability studies about what disability is and how to theorize it. It also examines the interface between disability studies, women's studies and medical sociology, offering a review of theoretical approaches. The title "Female Forms" reflects two things about the book: first, its use of disabled women's experiences, as told by themselves, to bring a number of themes to life; and second, the author's belief in the importance of feminist ideas and debates for disability studies. The social model of disability is the book's bedrock, but the author both challenges and contributes to social modelist thought. She advances a materialist feminist perspective on disability, producing a text which is of multi-disciplinary relevance.
