The Soviet representational regime—in which people with disabilities body was troped as deficient, but capable of transcending lack of mobility through moral virtue, physical endurance and political engagement—traditionally excluded positive or respectful representations of women with disabilities, since femininity and disability occupied the same discursive space, and both often were associated with pity, personal tragedy, pain and inadequacy (Iarskaia-Smirnova and Romanov 2006:230).	cache/aeer-1267.htm	txt/aeer-1267.txt
