Eurydice Eve speaks with Selina Mills, author of Life Unseen : The Story of Blindness, about the wide spectrum of individual ability and functionality. The book takes the reader on a journey through the history of blindness in Western Culture to discover that blindness is not so dark after all.
The two women writers discuss writing and life and women’s issues and the disability spectrum.
