LOOK AT ME

by Marlene le Roux

This book showcases the sensuality, strength and courage of 23 disabled women. It is an inspirational journey that forces the reader to look beyond the disability, rather seeing the ability. Apart from the beautiful pictures taken by the international photographer, Lucie Pavlovich, the women all wrote their own life stories. Sharing the highs and lows of their journey into womanhood.

The women range from all walks of life, from housewives to very successful businesswomen. Some were born with their disability and others got it through an accident or illness later in life.

Included in the book is a comprehensive list of contact details of disability organisations in South Africa.
