Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Loud, Proud, And Passionate
Hi everyone. A new book has been added to the Bookshare collection today
called Loud Proud and Passionate: Including Women with Disabilities in
International Development Programs. It's title sounds formal to me, like
maybe a textbook you'd have to read for a class. I was new here and wanted
to help clear out some of the older scans, and I started validating it with
the expectation of being bored silly. I couldn't have been more wrong. I
am writing to encourage each of you to consider reading at least the first 4
chapters of the book. While we may each have our own perspectives on
disabilities, this book did open my eyes to some things I never knew or
thought much about. It has also reminded me that I do have the ability to
help both myself and my less fortunate disabled peers. My view of my
blindness is changing now in some important and positive ways. I stand a
little taller now, and I feel confident that the living conditions for all
people with disabilities can improve. I hope it will inspire you as it has
for me.
Monica
