In the intro, the author mentions that she analyzes fairytales through a disability rights framework. Disability rights is different than and outdated compared to disability justice. There are gaps in the disability rights framework that ultimately still leave disabled people vulnerable to harm. Disability justice fills in these gaps. I’m not super interested in and do not think I will benefit from Leduc’s disability rights lens.

I poked around some reviews online to help guide my DNF decision. Several mentioned that this runs more memoir than analysis, which is not why I picked up this book. Additionally, one reviewer mentioned an extremely problematic chapter about sex work, which is out of alignment with my values.

I’m going to read Alice Wong’s Disability Visibility instead!
