There is also a Special Issue of Hypatia: The Journal of Feminist Philosophy
in press on Feminism and Disability. Contact <[log in to unmask]>
The forthcoming Disability/Postmodernity: Embodying Disability Theory (eds
Corker & Shakespeare. London: Continuum, 2001) contains a wide selection of
writing on gender, sexuality and disability.
Incidentally, I'm interested in the view that there is an 'absence of
structural feminist approaches'. I've found that overall, most of the
writing about gender and disability IS structural in its orientation i.e I
think Morris, Thomson, Wendell etc are all materialist and structuralist.
What do others think?
