Judy Heumann's autobiography, "Being Heumann," chronicles her lifelong struggle to gain respect, acceptance, and inclusion in society. Paralyzed from polio at eighteen months, Judy began her fight for equality early in life. From fighting to attend grade school after being deemed a fire hazard to later winning a lawsuit against the New York City school system for denying her a teaching license, to leading the Section 504 sit-in that led to the creation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Judy's actions set a precedent that fundamentally improved rights for disabled people around the globe.

Candid, intimate, and irreverent, Judy Heumann's memoir about resistance to exclusion invites readers to imagine and make real a world in which we all belong.
