Venus on Wheels by Gelya Frank

Records the relationship that developed between the author and Diane DeVries, a woman born with all the physical and mental equipment she would need to live in our society - except arms and legs. This work argues that DeVries is a perfect example of an American woman coming of age in the second half of the twentieth century.
Gelya Frank is a cultural anthropologist on the faculty of the Departments of Occupational Science & Occupational Therapy and Anthropology at the University of Southern California. She is the coauthor of Lives: An Anthropological Approach to Biography (1981).
