As a disabled single parent, Mona Hughes understands the difficulties of raising a child alone. As a disabled woman, she knows the discrimination women face and the double discrimination disabled women encounter. A former counselor, she understands the stresses of life and their affect on our bodies. A survivor of polio, post polio syndrome, marriage, divorce, and aging as a woman and a woman with a disability, she understands the strengths women have.

She has written a weekly newspaper column on disabilities for The Orlando Sentinel for over five years, consults for several organizations on disabilities, and has many active roles within the disabled community and in creating bridges to the mainstream.

In Women and Disabilities: It isn't them and us, Hughes uses the personal, interview story style that has characterized her writing to humanize a thoroughly researched resource list. This is a book that should be on every woman's bookshelf.
