Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body

I enjoy following Taussig on Instagram and loved getting to know her better through this memoir-in-essays. She details her life as a wheelchair-user and what it was like growing up paralyzed in the 90s and early 2000s, including the subpar disability rep she saw on-screen. This book is her invitation for us to reconsider the ableism around us, in our lives and in media, and what accessibility really looks like and why it matters. Well-written, vulnerable, and humorous.
