Hughes et al. (2005) have argued that identity formation among persons with disabilities is influenced by the way exclusionary processes of society curtail opportunities to participate in contemporary cultures. Persons with disabilities find it difficult to question social systems and relations that are contradictory to their own views of self (Watson 2002). Persons with impairments often attempt to negotiate their lives in order to be acceptable by functioning as “normally” as possible so that they can become assimilated into the larger society (Shakespeare 1996). The process of identity creation is influenced by social and cultural practices, wherein disabled people have to negotiate their identities and manage stigma on an everyday basis in society. The chapter uses personal narratives to trace the trajectory of identity formation of two women with disabilities from Global South. Disability narratives have almost always been framed through negative metaphors, in the language of personal tragedy and immense struggle of the disabled person and their families. This chapter attempts to disrupt the existing disability narratives by transforming the metaphors located within cultural, social and institutional contexts, countering the abject through the language of lived experiences of these women. Using auto-ethnographic narratives and within the broader tenets of identity theory and intersectionality, the authors elaborate their own lived experiences, and how they balanced their belongingness with their differences, and act out their roles which may not be in accordance with societal expectations of a woman with disability.
