The more we get together

In November, 1990, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, 300 women from across the country got together to celebrate diversity and difference. The occasion: the 14th annual Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women conference. The focus - women with disabiilties. Papers from that conference examining disability and difference, herstories, care-giving and mothering, language and writing, are gathered here. They affirm the value of the individual and collective experience of women with disabilities, and emphasize the need for all women, whatever our abilities, to join in the search for ways to understand our differences.
