Join freelance journalist and writer, known for her coverage of disability rights and living with disability, Lucy Webster as she celebrates the publication of her new book The View From Down Here: Life as a young disabled woman.

Women’s lives are shaped by sexism and expectations. Disabled people’s lives are shaped by ableism and a complete lack of expectations. But what happens when you’re subjected to both sets of rules?

For this incredible virtual event, Lucy will share her experience of life at the intersection; the struggles, the joys and the unseen realities of being a disabled woman. This will undoubtedly be an incredible opportunity to learn about navigating the worlds of education and work, dating and friendship; to managing care; contemplating motherhood and learning to accept your body against a pervasive narrative that it is somehow broken and in need of fixing.

Lucy has been writing about living with disability, feminism, politics and diversity for nearly a decade. Her newest book is a powerful, honest, hilarious and furious account of what it really means to move through the world as a disabled woman. With her natural wit and humour, Lucy will amplify disabled voices that often go unheard and unnoticed. Do not miss it.
