Off the Shelf: Ramping Up Rights: An Unfinished History Of British Disability Activism – Rachel Charlton-Dailey in conversation with Laura Elliott

Award-winning disabled journalist, activist and author Rachel Charlton-Dailey‘s book is a groundbreaking history of 100 years of disability activism in the UK.

1 in 5 people in the UK are disabled yet disability activism remains overlooked in history books, media, and politics. Blending investigative journalism, social history and a call to action the book looks at protests from disabled suffragettes to debates about genetic screening. This powerful, timely book shows how often disabled people, and their allies, have fought and won, and the need to keep fighting.
