Disfigured by Amanda Leduc

Disfigured by Amanda Leduc

Challenges the ableism of fairy tales and offers new ways to celebrate the magic of all bodies.

"She [Leduc] argues that template is how society continues to treat the disabled: rather than making the world accessible for everyone, the disabled are often asked to adapt to inaccessible environments" —Ryan Porter, Quill & Quire
"Historically we have associated the disabled body image and disabled life with an unhappy ending” —Sue Carter, Toronto Star
"Leduc persuasively illustrates the power of stories to affect reality in this painstakingly researched and provocative study that invites us to consider our favorite folktales from another angle." —Sara Shreve, Library Journal
