Over My Dead Body

The author, a New Zealander, contracted polio on a trip to London. Completely paralyzed, except for the ability to wink one eye, she made an extraordinary recovery, aided by her courage and excellent humor.

June Opie was a polio survivor, clinical psychologist, writer and broadcaster who overcame discrimination against the disabled to achieve professional and personal success. Her memoir, Over my dead body (1957), was an international best-seller and brought her widespread fame. Her determination to live an independent life despite the obstacles presented by polio informed her later advocacy for disability rights, and she maintained strong support for equality of opportunity for those with disabilities throughout her life.
