“…They classified them as '''Men's'' Illness Overlooked in Women and ''Women's'' Illness Misdiagnosed or Dismissed' and 'Dormant and Part-Time Disabilities'.

Women's disabilities occur within a variety of life circumstances, some of which involve the social construction of disability and its impact on identity [1].…”

“…M. E. Banks (2003) observed that it is known that women, especially women of color, tend to die sooner after diagnosis of HIV/AIDS than men and that they have poorer response to medications than men (Beatty, 2003). Mortality from progressively disabling AIDS is addressed by Feist-Price and Wright (2003) and Baesler, Derlega, Winstead, and Barbee (2003).…”

This article provides an overview of disability in families. The goal of the article is to raise awareness of the status of people with disabilities and their families to develop culturally relevant psychological support. Families have widely varying perspectives on disability; those perspectives influence responses to disability from the preconception and prenatal developmental stages through old age. An international literature review is provided with consideration of cultural meanings of disability, preparation for dealing with disability, coping strategies, support, developmental dynamics, competing needs of family members, and ethics. Voices of people with disabilities and their families are included.

“…All of these factors limit their social and economic opportunities and make it harder to prevent the onset of a disability and/or manage or rehabilitate a disability, if acquired. It is therefore not surprising that African Americans have significantly higher rates of disability and of severe disabilities than the white majority population (Beatty 2003; Drum et al 2011; Smart and Smart 1997). Although African Americans have one of the highest rates of disability, 29 percent of African Americans versus 20 percent of white Americans, there is a dearth of recent statistical data describing their social and economic characteristics (Courtney-Long et al 2015).…”

“…Although African Americans have one of the highest rates of disability, 29 percent of African Americans versus 20 percent of white Americans, there is a dearth of recent statistical data describing their social and economic characteristics (Courtney-Long et al 2015). The research that does exist suggests significant race and gender disparities among the disabled population, for example, that African American women with disabilities particularly face multiple barriers to resources and equitable treatment in society (Alston and McCowan 1994; Balcazar et al 2010; Beatty 2003; Oberoi et al 2015). Despite this, very little has been written about the multiple inequalities that African American women with disabilities or other disabled women of color experience.…”

Angel love Miles University of illinois at Chicago, UsA in a mixed-methods study of the barriers and facilitators to homeownership for African American women with physical disabilities, self-concept emerged among the primary themes. This article discusses how participants in the study perceived themselves and negotiated how they were perceived by others as multiply marginalized women. Using what i call a feminist intersectional disability framework, i suggest that participants' relationships to care strongly contributed to their self-concept. The "strong Black Woman" trope and associated expectations had cultural and material relevance for how they interpreted themselves and were interpreted by others as receivers, managers, and providers of care. The material reality of owning or not owning a home did not reveal significant differences in the self-concepts of homeowners versus nonhomeowners. Rather, it was through conversations about homeownership that this data around self-concept in relationship to care was revealed.
