Moving Beyond the "Clash of Cultures"

"The perceptions and values of disabled people (particularly disability rights advocates and disabled social scientists) and of many nondisabled people (particularly health care professionals, ethicists, and health policy analysts), regarding virtually the whole range of current health and medical-ethical issues (treatment decision making, health care access and health care rationing, medical cost-containment, and assisted suicide) seem frequently to conflict with one another....Can we bridge the apparent gulf between disabled and nondisabled perspectives?...The perspectives and values of the disability rights community...need to be incorporated into the ongoing debate about medical practice, ethics, and policy."

--Paul Longmore, "Medical Decision Making and People with Disabilities: A Clash of Cultures," J of Law, Medicine and Ethics 23 (1995): 82-87.

Bibliography: Women, Disability & Deafness

I also have a lot of related types of articles in a bibliography on women with disability and issues related mostly to reproductive rights (intermixed with articles on motherhood.  I know there are one or two on deafness as designer disability).

Here, too, is a section on D/deaf women:
