**'A vital call to arms that demands we confront ableism at every level of society.' Sophie Morgan

'I have never related to a book more. Disabled or not, you must read it!' Rosie Jones

'A sharp, funny, and deeply beautiful memoir that doesn't shy away from the realities of disabled life.' Ruth Madeley**

Women's lives are shaped by sexism and expectations. Disabled people's lives are shaped by ableism and a complete lack of expectations. But what happens when you're subjected to both sets of rules?

This powerful, honest, hilarious and furious memoir from journalist and advocate Lucy Webster looks at life at the intersection; the struggles, the joys and the unseen realities of being a disabled woman. From navigating the worlds of education and work, dating and friendship; to managing care; contemplating motherhood; and learning to accept your body against a pervasive narrative that it is somehow broken and in need of fixing, The View From Down Here shines a light on what it really means to move through the world as a disabled woman.
