Description: Sitting Pretty : The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body, Paperback by Taussig, Rebekah, ISBN 0062936808, ISBN-13 9780062936806, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US "Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the 90s and early 2000s, Rebekah Taussig only saw disability depicted as something monstrous (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), inspirational (Helen Keller), or angelic (Forrest Gump).
