This is a groundbreaking memoir about what it means to be a disabled woman in Britain today from the acclaimed journalist and author, including insights and personal stories from over 50 contributors. ‘No one really talks about it. No one really talks about what it is to be a disabled woman, especially a young one. To go a bit mad. To experience pain or exhaustion or feel 92. To navigate all the standard parts of life – exams, careers, dating – but with a body that is different than everyone else’s.’ Part memoir, part manifesto, and full of Frances Ryan’s trademark warmth, humour and honesty (as well as hard-hitting statistics), ‘Who Wants Normal?’ explores six facets of life: education, careers, body image, health, relationships and representation, as well as how to survive life’s bumps in the road.
