4.5
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.
