Excellent- More about Cripping Girlhood
Cripping Girlhood offers a new theorization of disabled girlhood, tracing how and why representations of disabled girls emerge in twenty-first century U.S. media culture. It uncovers how the exceptional figure of the disabled girl often appears as a resource to work through post-ADA anxieties about the family, healthcare, labor, citizenship, and the precarity of the bodymind. Todd analyzes a range of cultural sites, including YouTube, TikTok, documentaries, and GoFundMe campaigns, to show how disabled girls actively upend what we think we know about them and their experience, re-envisioning the meanings ascribed to their bodyminds in their own terms.

Cripping Girlhood offers a fresh perspective on disabled girlhood, tracing how and why representations of disabled girls have become prevalent in twenty-first century U.S. media culture. It uncovers how the exceptional figure of the disabled girl often serves as a resource to address post-ADA anxieties related to family, healthcare, labor, citizenship, and the vulnerability of the body and mind. By employing feminist disability studies, the book challenges the implicit assumption in girls studies that girlhood is inherently non-disabled. Anastasia Todd goes beyond a critique of the privileged disabled girl subject in the national imagination to explore how disabled girls actively reimagine what it means to be a disabled girl. Through a comprehensive analysis of various cultural sites, including YouTube, TikTok, documentaries, and GoFundMe campaigns, Todd reveals how disabled girls disrupt and redefine the narratives surrounding them, reframing the meanings attributed to their bodies and minds. By examining disabled girls' self-representational practices and cultural productions, Todd demonstrates how they skillfully theorize their experiences of ableism, sexism, racism, and ageism, while also cultivating online communities that create archives of disability knowledge and empower other disabled individuals.
