- Bridget Elliott and Jo-Ann Wallace
- chapter as part of the new interest in psychology If she were less of an individual, less truly aware of her own aloneness and the personal role art played in her life, she might be counted a surrealist or be fitted with some other useful title. But her modernity lies not in a pictorial method or a school, but in her tenacious adherence to the right to be herself, to fight her own psychic battles...(Breeskin, 1986:18)
- chapter absolute equivalence and hence interchangeability of choices. Or so it is said. The existence of feminism with its insistence on difference forces us to reconsider. (Owens, 1985:77).
- chapter Is that your window with the moving shade In pilgrimage I've come so far to see? The air may enter, you are not afraid Of the great air that plays invisible About your neck, moving your opened hair (That busy shadow is perhaps your maid?) While I must wait, as near as I may be�(Barney, 1920:27)

- chapter as self) How often do I have to tell you to leave my bloody stuff alone! That's not my stuff. It's client's stuff! I said, 'I'm not having trouble with clients just because this stupid wife of mine has shifted stuff! (Voice grows angrier) Now will you leave that stuff alone!! Look, I have just told you (slams desk) Leave that stuff alone. (Whispers) It's not registering. I, I've realized this It's no good. It's no good doing that. I've just got to say, (In calm even voice) Oh numbers Don't touch it dear. She's already forgotten that 2 minutes ago I'd grabbed the thing away from her. (Whining voice as wife) You, you are always, you are always grabbing things away from me! (Assumes own voice; speaking sadly) No. No. She has already forgotten it At least, I, I, I am, I am accepting. I am getting It's becoming more a part of me the fact that ah�these things are just not registering. It is no good growling at her because 2 minutes later she does the same thing again!
- chapter Empowerment
- chapter DISABLED WOMEN AND THE FEMINIST AGENDA
- Nasa Begum
- chapter Most disabilities come equipped with drooping breasts, a thin rib cage and a lax-tum, due to a lack of muscle The inability of the disabled person to be purely physical, showing body movement, posture�can be a great disadvantage within the market place of relationships. (Campling, 1981:17) I did feel less sexually attractive, because I was surrounded by metal and wheels and had no control over my body, bladder and bowels. I needed help with absolutely everything and couldn�t see how men could find me sexually attractive. (Morris, 1989:82)
- chapter easy to just hand it over to that person. Consequently we see a mind-body split which has major implications for self-concept and sexuality. (Bogle and others, 1981:92)
- chapter The invalid may marry another of his kind, and live happily or unhappily ever after. Society doesn't greatly care whether he is happy or unhappy as long as society isn't troubled. A wall is raised between the normal world and the disabled wall invisible and hard and cold as unbreakable glass. (Judith Thunem in Shearer, 1981:84). The principle problem for a marriage between an able-bodied person and someone handicapped is one of motivation. It begs the cruel and unavoidable question: What normal person would saddle him/herself with someone who probably will need a lifetime of care. Many normal people when they enter a marriage of this nature are not marrying an equal but someone they want to treat like a child. (1976:29)
- chapter When I came to live with my lesbian mate I felt a bit absurd about being gay and disabled With her I was at ease of course, but I felt self-conscious about meeting other lesbians, I thought they�d see me as non-sexual, they�d think how can she be gay like us. When I was passing for heterosexual it didn't occur to me to think I'd be regarded as non-sexual I think this is because I saw heterosexual women as sexually passive anyway, whereas I see lesbians as equals. (Campling, 1981:86) Severely able-bodied lesbians look at us and go, Urgh, what's wrong with her? (McEwen and O'Sullivan, 1988:50)
