Being Seen: One Deafblind Woman's Fight to End Ableism by Elsa Sjunneson
challenging
informative
medium-paced
5.0
This is not a misery memoir.
Sjunneson writes with passion and candour, exploring the disparity between how she is seen and treated, and how she understands her own body.
Nor is it a plea for understanding/sympathy etc. It's a demand to be taken on her own terms and for other disabled people to experience the same. It's the memoir of someone angry and someone who is an activist.
Highly recommended.
