Felicity Lane-Fox, Triumphing Over Disability

Felicity Lane-Fox, Triumphing Over Disability  
In April, 1988, Baroness Lane-Fox of Bramham, OBE, died a few weeks before her 70th birthday. A tireless campaigner on behalf of the disabled, she knew more than most the frustrations of wanting to play an independent rôle in the world and make her contribution to society, while being resolutely ignored, patronised or underestimated by that society. In this frank, modest and frequently entertaining memoir, she chronicles her lifelong battle with the effects of the polio she contracted as a young girl of twelve. She pays heartfelt tribute to the support she received from her family – especially from her quite remarkable, loyal and tireless mother – and the many friends whose sympathetic understanding and practical aid enabled her to overcome numerous setbacks in her search to lead a fulfilled and purposeful life. That her search was successful will be a source of encouragement to many whose lives may have been blighted by the effects of disease or injury. Felicity Lane-Fox refused to complain about her condition, though she had reason enough to do so. She did, however, complain constructively about the way in which her condition was viewed by the able-bodied, and this touching memoir is a tribute to her indomitable spirit.
