Ebook About
A memoir-in-essays from disability advocate and creator of the Instagram account @sitting_pretty Rebekah Taussig, processing a lifetime of memories to paint a beautiful, nuanced portrait of a body that looks and moves differently than most.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). None of this felt right; and as she got older, she longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling.Writing about the rhythms and textures of what it means to live in a body that doesn’t fit, Rebekah reflects on everything from the complications of kindness and charity, living both independently and dependently, experiencing intimacy, and how the pervasiveness of ableism in our everyday media directly translates to everyday life. Disability affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at one point or another. By exploring this truth in poignant and lyrical essays, Taussig illustrates the need for more stories and more voices to understand the diversity of humanity. Sitting Pretty challenges us as a society to be patient and vigilant, practical and imaginative, kind and relentless, as we set to work to write an entirely different story.

Book Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body Review :



I have a slight disclaimer for this review. I had to enjoy Sitting Pretty in very small doses, a chapter or less at a time. However, that's for a good reason. Like Rebekah, I have a disability--well, disabilities if you want to get technical. I have cerebral palsy and Asperger's. Both are mild, but both have impacted my life enough, and kept me out of enough arenas, that being disabled could hurt like mad. It's never been something I thought of as part of my identity--at least, a good part of it. The essays in Sitting Pretty resonated with me so much, so hard, that I often found myself feeling intense emotions I had to keep back.With that said, I am unbelievably glad I found Sitting Pretty. First of all, even in the #ownvoices movement, disability still doesn't have enough voices, so kudos on that alone. But Rebekah's voice is one of the best I could've found. She's relatable, fresh, funny, and in general, someone you want to spend time with. She writes with honesty about the hard parts of disability, such as dealing with direct and soft bigotry or just the hassles of everyday life (ex.: crawling rather than wheeling because well, modifications weren't there).Additionally, I loved how Rebekah juxtaposed disability with the rest of her journey, such as growing up with siblings "like a box of puppies," getting married and divorced, and married again. Yes! This is what every woman on earth wants to do, wants to write or talk about, wants to be shown doing. With Sitting Pretty, the narrative is not, "I'm disabled BUT I still do everything you do." It's, "I'm disabled AND I do everything you do plus more--and "more" is related to a brilliant identity that not everyone else has, which is cool."I don't know if I'll ever 100% embrace disability as a positive part of me. There's still a lot of internalized ableism, external ableism, shame, and self-doubt to deal with, among other things. But Sitting Pretty gave me a huge dose of encouragement, just because there are other women like me out there and we are living our lives. Moreover, we can, and should be given the opportunity to, live our lives to the fullest, in any body we have. Thanks again, Rebekah!
Not only is this book beautifully written and highly enjoyable, but it is eye-opening and thought-provoking as well. We are all challenged to figure out how to make our spaces and our communities more accessible and inviting to those who don’t automatically get a seat at the table. I was challenged by this book in a good way. I also really enjoyed Rebekah’s writing style. By the end of the book you feel like she’s your friend- a friend you just can’t wait to have coffee with. Definitely a must read for everyone.
