Abstract

In the case of women with disabilities, the bias existing in the male-female dichotomy, inequalities and discrimination are unquestionably amplified. In general, it is true that women are still subject to inequalities everywhere and that there is a huge bias to overcome; this is a given fact worldwide, with precise figures for Europe, for example. This section offers an analysis of the discrimination suffered by women with disabilities from the point of view of the intersectionality and also offers a very brief overview of the new factors introduced by feminist disability studies, when, in overcoming the claims related the fact that feminist movements and feminist studies simply omitted and left out the issues concerning women with disabilities, this new axis begun to represent a fresh start in the non-partial history of women and disability and disability in general.
