No Right to Be Idle: The Invention of Disability, 1850-1930
Sarah Rose
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Americans with all sorts of disabilities came to be labelled as ""unproductive citizens"". As Sarah F. Rose explains, a perfect storm of public policies, shifting family structures, and economic changes barred workers with disabilities from mainstream workplaces and simultaneously cast disabled people as morally questionable dependents.
