Description

Addressing the power and importance of language, graphically illustrating the misuse of power, corruption and convenience that governs the medical profession, and questioning the passive disinterest of our non-disabled sisters, Pushing the Limits is both painful and celebratory. Far from a rant about the inevitable oppression of living with societal "norms" and institutionalised "isms", this anthology is sensitive, intelligent and questioning. Each disabled dyke in her own unique way has contributed to that developing phenomenon that we know is disabled dyke culture.
