description: Pushing the Limits is a path-breaking multi-media anthology of fiction, personal narrative, poetry, song, and artwork by disabled dykes. Taking cultural space for their language and art, Anne-Marie Alonzo, Sherree Clark, Laura Hershey, Audre Lorde, Mary Frances Platt, Sherry Shute, Shahnaz Stri, Frances Yip Hoi, and others, challenge exclusionary notions about who counts as a dyke, and subvert pervasive stereotypes about disabled people. In doing so, these writers and artists enrich queer communities, and contribute to the efforts of anti-ablest and other disability activists. Finally, an autonomous, self-contained collection of cultural work by disabled dykes, Pushing the Limits is compelling, provocative, and affirming.
