Feminist Disability Theory

Before reading this article I assumed that women with disabilities already saw themselves within “Feminist theory. Also when thinking of disability I had a narrow view that it was limited to reproductive issues and beauty. After reading the article I understood how women with disabilities seem not to be addressed, or included. When disusing feminist theory what is usually discussed is ethnicity and economic status. Garland-Thomson suggested that understating how disability is an identity category and cultural concept would enhance how we understand what it is to be human and our relationships with one another. I would agree; if disability was a part of the feminist theory more people would not view those with disabilities unreachable or in negative or helpless analysis.
