Hearing Maud: A Journey for a Voice by Jessica White
4.0
"I’m tired of being taken for granted. I want people to know how hard I’ve worked – and how hard most people with disabilities have to work – to get where I am"
This book spoke with me, and at times I could relate all too well and in others it was hard to not overlay my experiences with a chronic illness which weren't necessarily the same because being deaf is different than being diabetic (the cochlear implant vs the insulin pump for example). More books like to be written by more people and I loved the overlaying of history to reflect how much experience for deaf people had and had not changed
