This sharp-witted lawyer, activist and writer, Harriet McBryde Johnson, once described herself as a “disabled, liberal, atheistic Democrat,” but like any Push Girl, her incredible achievements defied categorization. As a very public face of the disability rights movement, she regularly blew minds and challenged assumptions - helping people to get their Social Security, standing up for Congress in the public battle over Terry Schiavo, and speaking up against the “pity based tactics” of certain charity organizations. This wheelchair using Push Girl may be gone, but her fire still burns bright! 

Tell your friend she’s got a little Harriet in her. Reblog now to give her a little push.
