Lady Bracknell | 00:00 UK time, Tuesday, 8 November 2005



is a monthly column on the website of the Canadian National broadcaster, CBC.

Three disabled writers contribute on a rolling basis. Ed Smith has quadriplegia; Helena Katz has a visual impairment; and Anna Quon describes herself as a "mental health consumer". All three have contributed articles which are well-researched and thought-provoking whilst remaining eminently readable. This is not, by any means, just crips kicking off randomly.

Having read all the columns, Lady Bracknell has particularly singled out for your reading pleasure: Ed Smith's, ; Helena Katz's, ; and Anna Quon's .
