The
Goode Life
Memoirs of Disability Rights
Activist Barb Goode
Barb Goode with Jim Reynolds
Barb
Goode. 2011. 167 pages.
The
inspiring story of one of Canada's most remarkable and humble citizens
who, in her mission of supporting equality and giving voice to those
who had no voice, traveled much of the globe and met some of the
greatest leaders of our age and some of the most vulnerable of
citizens.
Barb Goode is a self-advocate
leader who has done
amazing things in her life and this is her
story.
There
could be no better representative
for
Spectrum Press's first work by a self-advocate than Barb, who has so
positively and continuously worked to grow and cement her network, and
demonstrated what she might do, against the
odds.
Barb
prepared for writing this work by taking a number of writing classes,
and has been clear throughout the process about the need to use plain
language and that her voice be honoured. Supporting
her has
taught us a great deal.
We've extremely proud to be
part of her goal to write this book.
