Author, advocacy journalist, disability rights activist, feminist,
and founder of Mouth magazine, Lucy Gwin (1943-2014) made her mark
by helping those in "handicaptivity" find their voice. Gwin
produced over one hundred issues of the magazine-one of the most
radical and significant disability rights publications-and
masterminded its acerbic, sometimes funny, and often moving
articles about people from throughout the disability community. In
this engrossing biography, James M. Odato provides an intimate
portrait of Gwin, detailing how she forged her own path into
activism. After an automobile accident left her with a brain
injury, Gwin became a tireless advocate for the equal rights of
people she termed "dislabled." More than just a publisher, she
fought against corruption in the rehabilitation industry, organized
for the group Not Dead Yet, and much more. With Gwin's story at the
center, Odato introduces readers to other key disability rights
activists and organizations, and supplies context on current
contentious topics such as physician-assisted suicide. Gwin's
impact on disability rights was monumental, and it is time her
story is widely known.
