Voiceless Lips (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781104850708)

Voiceless Lips is a memoir written by Nell Warren Outlaw, chronicling her experiences growing up as a deaf and mute woman in the early 20th century. Outlaw was born in rural North Carolina in 1908, and due to an illness at a young age, she lost her ability to hear and speak. The book explores the challenges Outlaw faced as a deaf and mute person in a world that did not understand or accommodate her needs.Outlaw recounts her struggles to communicate with her family and the outside world, as well as her experiences attending a school for the deaf in Raleigh, North Carolina. She also shares her journey to find love and acceptance, including her marriage to a deaf man and their efforts to raise a family.Throughout the book, Outlaw provides a unique perspective on life as a deaf and mute person in the early 20th century, shedding light on the discrimination and misunderstandings faced by the deaf community. She also celebrates the resilience and strength of deaf individuals and their ability to overcome obstacles and find joy in life.Voiceless Lips is a powerful and inspiring memoir that offers a glimpse into the life of a deaf and mute woman in a time when deafness was often seen as a disability rather than a unique identity. Outlaw's story is a testament to the power of human connection and the importance of advocating for the needs and rights of all individuals, regardless of their abilities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
