Item Description
In 2003 with the theme, Women Pioneering the Future, Harilyn Rousso was selected as one of our 2003 Honorees. Rousso has continued her work as psychotherapist, painter, feminist, filmmaker, writer, and disability activist. Now, in her empowering and at times confrontational memoir, Don't Call Me Inspirational, Rousso, who has cerebral palsy, describes overcoming the prejudice against disability--not overcoming disability. She addresses the often absurd and ignorant attitudes of strangers, friends, and family.
Rousso also examines her own prejudice toward her disabled body, and portrays the healing effects of intimacy and creativity, as well as her involvement with the disability rights community. A collage of images about her life, rather than a formal portrait, Don't Call Me Inspirational celebrates Rousso's wise, witty, productive, outrageous life, disability and all. Paperback , 209 pages
