Book Description
Pushing the Limits is a path-breaking multi-media anthology of fiction, personal narrative, poetry, song, and artwork by disabled dykes. Taking cultural space for their language and art, Anne-Marie Alonzo, Sherree Clark, Laura Hershey, Audre Lorde, Mary Frances Platt, Sherry Shute, Shahnaz Stri, Frances Yip Hoi, and others, challenge exclusionary notions about who counts as dyke, and subvert pervasive stereotypes about disabled peoples. In doing so these writers and artists enrich queer communities, and contribute to the efforts of anti-ableist and other disability activists. Finally, an autonomous, self-contained collection of cultural work by disabled dykes, Pushing the Limits is compelling, provocative, and affirming.
