Dear Carol,
thanks for the kind words about my work.  I have a question, however.  I can
understand how you could see a connection in my work between disability and
postmodernism, but I don't see how you make the connection between
disability and "post-feminism".  Would you please explain this, and what you
mean by this remark?  Thanks.

Best regards,
Shelley
