My only complaint is that in the chapter describing her work with the World Bank, Judy presents this glowing review of an imperial and colonial organization that caused lots of harm to many marginalized people, including those with disabilities. I would have appreciated a more nuanced view of the organization, especially if readers aren't familiar with its legacy.

My only note is that I agree with other reviewers who said this is less of a memoir and more of a recounting of her work as an activist. Which is a very good recounting don’t get me wrong, and I am glad she wrote it, but slightly different than what I thought I was getting.
