Ask Jason: Have you ever wrote about women with disability?

Yep! Here’s a link to a collection of all the folk I’ve written about with disabilities.

There’s Sarah Biffin, painter born without arms or legs:

Virginia Hall, WW2 spy with a wooden leg:

Amanirenas, one-eyed conqueror of Rome:

Sophie Morigeau, one-eyed Metis frontierswoman who amputated her own rib:

Annie Jump Cannon, deaf astronomer:

Also plenty of folk I’ve covered on the Modern Worthies section of the site.

If you liked, please share!
