A brief but fascinating glimpse into the role of women, religion, disability and notions of the self in early 19th-century France. * Publishers Weekly *
Both Husson's autobiographical writing and Kudlick's and Weygand's short social history of the blight of the blind in nineteenth-century France will interest anyone whose work or intellectual interests lie in the field of modern disability studies. * H-Net Reviews *
Offering insight into the compelling history of people with disabilities, this is one of the earliest accounts written by someone with an actual disability rather than by an observer or educator. * Library Journal *
