Avec Christine, on a fêté nos 40 ans d'amitié en faisant un voyage de 15 jours en Sicile. Basés à Catane, on fait une virée d'un jour à Taormine (Taormina)

The new podcast ‘smashing the box’ of disabled feminism

An 'unsanitised' retelling of the lives of Helen Keller, Mabel Normand and Rosa May Billinghurst in a new podcast reveals their impact on modern feminism.

It sounds like the beginning of a vaguely inappropriate joke: what do the silent film actress, the suffragette and the most famous deaf-blind woman in history have in common?

But it's no joke. And in this case, fact is probably stranger than fiction because these three women - Charlie Chaplin's mentor, a brick-throwing activist and a revolutionary - were all disabled feminist pioneers of the early twentieth century.

Now, the inner lives of Mabel Normand, Rosa May Billinghurst and Helen Keller have been laid bare with a new "unsanitised" and fictionalised retelling of true events for a podcast.

Writer Louise Page, 27, from Northumberland, who has complex mental health conditions including bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, said she wanted to learn more about disabled early feminists after discovering how radically left-wing Helen Keller was.

Keller remains one of the most famous deaf-blind people in history, known for her activism, lecturing, writing and for being the first deaf-blind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree - but her radical political beliefs are often left out of the narrative.

Page says: "I already knew about the widely told, sanitised, version of Helen Keller's life - which tends to focus on her progress after meeting her teacher Anne Sullivan, and then cuts out before her radical left-wing phase.

"But she was actually part of the Industrial Workers of the World [an international labour union], who were thoroughly socialist and had connections to anarchism."

“Marco”

Panic. Stay calm! Stay calm! Fuck, I have to stay calm! Heart rate rises. Chest hurts. I can’t breath! Pounding. Hands clawing. Armour growing tight. Ga-

Shepard’s eyes finally popped open. She was breathing heavy, her muscles clenched and her body was sprinkled in tiny beads of sweat. Seeing where she was, on the slightly less than hard mattress pad she called her bed, she relaxed and let herself absorb into the room around her. She took a deep, confirming breath. However the sound of it almost startled her in the quiet space of her bunk.

It was a dream. Just another one of those damned dreams.

I wrote this several years ago. It was one if my first fics that I wrote and the only one I ever posted on AO3. Let me know what you think!
