Disability literature focuses on representing the experiences, challenges, and perspectives of individuals with disabilities. It examines societal attitudes, cultural stigmas, and the intersectionality of disability with race, gender, and class. Writers like Helen Keller, Nancy Mairs, and contemporary authors such as Riva Lehrer contribute to this field. Themes often include empowerment, resilience, and critique of ableism. Disability literature fosters empathy and awareness, challenging stereotypes and advocating for inclusivity. It has become a crucial area of literary and cultural studies, contributing to broader conversations about diversity, identity, and human rights.
