First of all, this is fish an important book to read because Judith is such an important historical figure that not many people know much about our have even heard of her because, as she explains, the Disability Rights Movement didn't and often still doesn't get the same attention as other movements. I learned so much about pivotal moments in US history and was fascinated by Judith's life and journey. I do wish the end had talked more about what she's been up to outside of her activism and wanted more detail in the beginning about how she got started in this work. She does talk about it, it just feels like it goes by really quickly compared to like the sit-in part.

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.
