The following information was downloaded from the mailing list of "Disability and Development" with a cooperation of the publisher, Mr. Soya Mori.
Hesperian proudly announces the release of our newest title!
Women with disabilities often discover that the social stigma of disability and inadequate care are greater barriers to health than the disabilities themselves. A Health Handbook for Women with Disabilities will help women with disabilities overcome these barriers and improve their general health, self-esteem, and abilities to care for themselves and participate in their communities.
“A Health Handbook for Women with Disabilities is an outstanding accomplishment! It combines the experiences and advice from women with disabilities throughout the world with up-to-date, professional health information. The book captures the real life situations of women with disabilities and their issues, their experiences and their desires. This book is a ‘must-have’ for health professionals, international development organizations, international women's organizations and anyone who believes in equality for women with disabilities.”
-- Susan Sygall, Co-founder and CEO of Mobility International USA, and a MacArthur Fellow
