This book has been on my tbr for years since I saw the documentary Crip Camp. Heumann did so much for the disability rights movement, and as someone who was born in a world where accessibility services are mostly commonplace, it's unfathomable to think of a world where people with disabilities had to fight for ordinary things like ramps in schools and government buildings, or even the right to be a teacher. RIP to one of the greatest activists of my life who made the world a better place.
Graphic: Ableism
Moderate: Bullying
Minor: Blood, Cancer, Sexual assault, War, and Antisemitism
Heumann was a disability right's activist so the entire book is about her life and her work where many people treated her differently/worse because of her disability (abelism)
