"Women and disability studies may show stories of challenge and oppressive exposure from the disabled woman. The examinations of various disability issues are critical in the eyes, hearts of disabled women as a situated analysis. In other words, the disabled woman offers forceful insight within the disability system in terms of a situated theory. The autobiography of Anne Finger articulates an excellent example of a writer who is a disabled activist. Ms. Finger suffers from childhood polio and when she became pregnant, it collided with her disease and the child was disabled. It seems that disabled women that commence motherhood..."

"As baby boomer women age, they find that they need access to the health care system more then ever. Health care practitioners and researchers are coming around to closing the disparity between services offered to men and to women. For example, the editor of the New England Journal of Medicine no longer accepts studies unless male and female populations were studied separately. Previously, women were offered treatment options derived from research done on male physiology. However, the health care system falls short in its distribution of health care to women with disabilities and chronic conditions."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer points out that women and their status in society are issues more seriously discussed today then ever before, but disabled women still have a long struggle to find dominant and powerful positions in different fields, in general, and with respect to their sexuality, in particular. The writer further points out that there are many issues that disabled women face but the issue of their sexuality is generally brushed under the carpet as they are stereotyped as asexual. They also suffer abuses because of lack of education or lack of rules and regulation in the institutional facilities. The writer concludes that the role of parent and immediate family is crucial as they should help family members with disabilities develop as normal beings instead of suppressing their sexualities. Further, the writer notes that society should play its role and activists must highlight such issues.

"Sexuality is not just about having or the ability to have physical intercourse but it also about being comfortable with one's own body and feminine side. It is about dressing up nicely, looking good, and admiring others and being admired. These are the basic human needs. Everyone wants to look good and feel god about oneself. Disabled women also have the right to develop a personal style without suppressing their desires and sexuality. They are also complete human beings. Their lives should not dependent on the wait for another meal in a day. We must recognize that just like eating, drinking and breathing, these women have their sexual needs as well which needs an outlet."

Abstract
This paper presents a research proposal to study the subject of women, disability and sexuality and how society responds to women who are noticeably physically disabled and also those whose disabilities are not observable.The paper questions how women suffering noticeable and unobserved disabilities express themselves sexually and whether stereotypical images of "the ideal woman" impact a woman's disability beyond the physicality of that disability. In researching the topic and seeking answers to these questions the paper relies upon existing studies and research to reach conclusions and an understanding of the subject matter.

Summary

From the Paper
""Tocqueville's observations of the typical American male's behavior in the face of the wilderness provide a suggestive frame for an account of his observations of the typical sexual relations between an American man and his wife. "Everywhere extreme civilization and nature abandoned to herself find themselves together, and as it were, face to face." Tocqueville was sensitive to his natural surroundings. In spite of his soul's penetration "by a sort of religious terror" he "couldn't keep from admiring the supreme horror of the place," the wilderness. On one occasion he and his companion were softened into a rare state of consciousness, beyond the will to express it. "

Abstract
This paper examines various issues which confront people with disabilities, further noting that women with disabilities face the same challenges in higher numbers, and are disappointingly underrepresented in research, training and health policies. Despite this, opportunities have opened the doors for females with disabilities to gain participation and access to services. The paper concludes by noting that there is still work to be done.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that people with disabilities face limited admission to health care, education, social activities and employment. Specifically, the writer points out that women with disabilities face the same criteria in higher regards and are disappointingly underrepresented in research, training and health policies. The writer maintains that although few advances have been made in terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act and medical/assistive technology, opportunities have opened doors for females with disabilities to participate in and gain access to services but there is still work to be done. This research paper examines women with disabilities facing challenges of finding employment specifically in Ontario, Canada.

From the Paper
"Disabled women who could not take the struggle received social assistance or began some kind of training that would benefit their disability and work at the same time. In one situation, a woman who suffers from arthritis had to go to a chiropractor almost three times a week and was too tired to go to work, which became a barrier. Since employers expect their employees to work eight or more hours a day.
"In another situation, a woman with cerebral palsy became an occupational therapist. During a summer program as a ninth grader, she assisted students with severe disabilities along with a speech therapist and an occupational therapist. She was advised not to enter the field of occupational therapy because of lifting and feeding the disabled children. However due to this incredible challenge to fight and help children, she became a pediatric occupational therapist after finishing college."

"Films, especially popular films, usually also reflect the social forces at work in the society in which they are made. Malhorta and Alaghargue that the domestic dramas produced in India present microcosmic examples of the narrowing of social identity within the dominant class to promote and focus exclusively on a wealthy Hindi patriarchal society. They suggest that this is neither an encouraging social trend nor a rich..."

"Alcoholism in Deaf Women

Alcohol usage is extremely common in the United States. Its abuse, however, is also the cause of considerable social harm. Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive disease resulting from persistent and excessive drinking. In addition to health problems, alcoholic behavior can result in familial, vocational, and legal difficulties. In recent years, the problem of alcoholism among the disabled has received increasing attention. More specifically, hearing-impaired women may be particularly vulnerable to the drug's adverse effects.

Tyas & Rush (1993) define a handicapped person as "anyone with a physical or mental disability that limits substantially one or more of such major life activities as walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, working, or learning" (Tyas & Rush, 1993, pp..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the autobiography of Anne Finger "Past Due: A Story of Disability, Pregnancy and Birth" which articulates an excellent example of a writer who is a disabled activist. The paper explains that the disabled woman offers forceful insight within the disability system in terms of a situated theory. The paper looks at how Ms. Finger shows extreme sarcasm in her words when explaining how she acquired polio. The paper also explores Ms. Finger's various attitudes towards abortion. In conclusion, the paper shows that Ms. Finger poses reproductive rights entangled by a myriad of social construct and these social constructs are categorized through personal experiences, feminism, selective abortion rights and aggressive politics. The paper also notes, however, that there is an uncertainty of obligation that is questioned by Ms. Finger throughout her memoir that lacks stability.

From the Paper
"There are several examples of opinions, which make Ms. Finger furious and/or hostile in regards to abortion, parental choice, disability, and of course politics. For example, Ms. Finger takes a reactive stand against anti-abortion. Yet, within her text, confusion seems to be set in place in terms of "the right to privacy" and "parental choice" (Finger, 25). If a woman chooses to abort a child for whatever reason, it would be considered a parental choice. In a similar sense, if a disabled woman chooses to abort a child for whatever reason knowing that the child would be disabled; isn't this considered a parental choice as well. Why would the disabled woman choice be different from the nondisabled woman?"
