descriptions in the first half of the book were so poetic and really spoke to me while being interspersed with really solid theory. second half of the book focuses more on an examination of historical forces impact modern experiences and the role of personal histories on impacting our identities

Graphic: Ableism
Moderate: Rape
This book is about how the body is perceived and experienced, particularly the disabled and raped body. There are no depictions of rape but mentions of it and slight descriptions of the act itself, and ableism is a very big theme in this book.soupreads0912's review against another edition
