Overall, in really glad I read this one. It's so powerful seeing the work that people like Judith were putting in behind the scenes and what they thought of events as they unfolded.

To those interested in learning more about the history of disability rights in the United States, this memoir by Judith Heumann is a fantastic starter point. The narration is a clear and honest depiction of the injustices and struggles as Heumann became an important voice for disability rights.
The memoir touches upon the topic of disability awareness around the world, but the main focus is of course in the fight for human rights in the United States, being Heumann’s birth place.
Can’t recommend it enough.
