Dear All,
For any one interested in the history of the disabled people's
movement may I recommend Paul K Longmore and David Goldberger, 'The
League
of the Physically Handicapped and the Great Depression,' The Journal of
American History 87 3 (December 2000). This is a fascinating paper
that undermines any notion that disabled people were passive
politically before the 1970s.
Best wishes,
Brian.
