Flossie and That Bitch of a Woman

From the publisher

Flossie was born with an intellectual disability and has spent her life navigating a world that has rarely understood or supported
her needs. Placed into full time disability accommodation at just thirteen years old, she has faced a system that was often unable or
unwilling to provide the care she deserved.
Her journey has been marked by discrimination, punishment and heartbreak, simply for behaviours that were a call for help.
Yet through every challenge, Flossie’s joyful spirit, dry humour and pure innocence have continued to shine.
Flossie and That Bitch of a Woman by Joan Reid is a powerful and deeply moving true story of how Flossie survived the impossible
and refused to lose herself. It is a courageous account of resilience, hope and the unwavering strength of a woman who kept fighting,
even when the world failed her.
Flossie’s story reveals the profound impact of “That Bitch of a Woman” on her life and celebrates her remarkable triumph over
adversity.
