About this listen
Women's lives are shaped by sexism and expectations. Disabled people's lives are shaped by ableism and a complete lack of expectations. But what happens when you're subjected to both sets of rules?
This powerful, honest, hilarious and furious memoir from journalist and advocate Lucy Webster looks at life at the intersection; the struggles, the joys and the unseen realities of being a disabled woman. From navigating the worlds of education and work, dating and friendship; to managing care; contemplating motherhood; and learning to accept your body against a pervasive narrative that it is somehow broken and in need of fixing, The View From Down Here shines a light on what it really means to move through the world as a disabled woman.

Insightful and thought provoking
Get your tissues and your note book ready. Oh and be ready to be completely obsessed with this book. I couldn’t put it down. It’s been a while since over read a book written so lovely. This really is a book for all to listen, take in and make action!

Fascinating experience we can all learn from
A detailed account of a story not often told which we clearly need to know about and improve.
