"I have seen no other book like this anywhere. The authors are bold, erudite and creative in establishing the links between their subject and the basis of the social sciences and humanities: the very concept of Self . That the authors include not only the conceptual and historical background of this subject but major discussions of methodological concerns, as well as magnificent bibliographic sources, make this book indispensible to teachers, students, paraprofessionals and professionals." - Barbara Myerhoff, University of Southern California.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1976 Gelya Frank began writing about the life of Diane DeVries, a woman born with all the physical and mental equipment she would need to live in our society--except arms and legs. Frank was 28 years old, DeVries 26. This remarkable book--by turns moving, funny, and revelatory--records the relationship that developed between the women over the next twenty years. An empathic listener and participant in DeVries's life, and a scholar of the feminist and disability rights movements, Frank argues that Diane DeVries is a perfect example of an American woman coming of age in the second half of the twentieth century.
