The Rejected Body argues that feminist theorizing has been skewed
toward non-disabled experience, and that the knowledge of people
with disabilities must be integrated into feminist ethics,
discussions of bodily life, and criticism of the cognitive and
social authority of medicine. Among the topics it addresses are who
should be identified as disabled; whether disability is biomedical,
social or both; what causes disability and what could 'cure' it;
and whether scientific efforts to eliminate disabling physical
conditions are morally justified.
Wendell provides a remarkable look at how cultural attitudes
towards the body contribute to the stigma of disability and to
widespread unwillingness to accept and provide for the body's
inevitable weakness.
