Reviews of My Body Politic
"The struggles, joys, and political awakening of a firecracker of a narrator. . . . Linton has succeeded in creating a life both rich and enviable. With her crackle, irreverence, and intelligence, it's clear that the author would never be willing to settle. . . . Wholly enjoyable."
-Kirkus Reviews

"Linton is a passionate guide to a world many outsiders, and even insiders, find difficult to navigate. . . . In this volume, she recounts her personal odyssey, from flower child . . . to disability-rights/human rights activist."
-Publishers Weekly

“The disability-rights activist leads an illuminating tour of the country of the disabled.”
-People magazine Picks&Pans Books - Great Reads

“Linton takes readers through rehabilitation and the decades that followed, emphasizing her growing awareness of how the community of disabled people is "hidden" from mainstream society. She intertwines her story with those of disabled people who inspired her, such as Glenn, who showed her that dancing need not be restricted to those who
can walk. … Required for both public and academic libraries, especially those with psychology or education collections.”
-Library Journal (starred review)
