You can't tell she's
handicapped when she's sitting down*
 CCLOW
exists to oppose and resist attitudes, like
this teacher's, that discriminate against girls and women in their education
and learning. Our last issue (summer 1996) addresses the inequalities and
inappropriate attitudes faced by girls and women with disabilities.
Contributors to this issue argue for safe, hassle-free, harassment-free
education and learning, rewarding and well-paid employment, freedom from being
treated as a special case, and equal opportunity for lives of dignity and
independence. Not to mention a few things the rest of the world needs to learn
from them.
Copies of this issue, called Perspectives on
Education from Women with Disabilities, are available from CCLOW for $4.89 per
copy + postage and handling. Discount available for bulk orders.
