First sentence: "From my own experience as a disabled woman and that of other disabled women, I have often found that our voice is silent." (Patricia Rock, 1985)
Description: This dissertation attempts to explore the premise that feminism has so far not fully acknowledged and included the experience of women with disabilities. The doubly handicapping experience of being both female and disabled demands a theory of multiple discrimination. Aspects of being female and of being female and disabled are drawn together by examining issues around "body image".
