Fading Scars: My Queer Disability, History 2nd edition is Corbett Joan OToole's deeply personal account of making history in the disability rights movement of the 20th century in Berkeley, California. Her unique perspective as a white disabled lesbian allows us to peek at the complexity of how change happens. Read all about the historic 1977 sit-in in San Francisco, California fight for the first national disability law, Section 504. Follow Corbett as she leads 50 disabled women to the United Nations Fourth International Conference on Women and co-organized the Disabled Women's Symposium which brought together over 200 disabled women from around the world. Follow Corbett's journey as a disabled parent who adopted a child with a disability. Revel in the joy she found co-organizing the first International Queer Disability Conference.
