A disabled mother challenges an inaccessible world

Unfit Parent

Unfit Parent, examines the obstacles that disabled parents face, the societal beliefs that undergird those barriers, and the political and economic systems that hold it all in place. Unfit Parent explores how disability culture and the strengths inherent in having a body like mine would, if included in parenting culture, make contemporary parenting more sustainable.

“Unfit Parent is love letter to disabled parenting – an impeccably researched, reported, and referenced love letter – as well as an artfully drawn map of an exquisite, convivial society that can only be achieved with the creativity, skill, and joy of disabled people. Jessica Slice bends our beliefs about bodies and reorients us toward our need for one another, the messy beauty of our interconnectedness.”

Angela Garbes, author of Essential Labor and Like a Mother
