Letters to My Weird Sisters: On Autism and Feminism

By Joanne Limburg

Book Overview

An autism diagnosis in midlife enabled Joanne Limburg to finally make sense of why she'd always felt marked as an outsider. Eager to discover other women who had been misunderstood in their time, she writes a series of wide-ranging letters to four 'weird sisters' from history, Virginia Woo If among them, addressing topics including autistic parenting, social isolation, feminism, the movement for disability rights and the appalling punishments that have been meted out over centuries to those deemed to fall short of the norm. This heartfelt, deeply compassionate and wholly original work humanises women who have so often been dismissed for their differences, and will be celebrated by 'weird sisters' everywhere.
