Draws on a qualitative study in Sweden in which women from three generations were interviewed about their daily lives. The women studied were all born with a mobility impairment. Inspired by feminist-sociological thought, the article highlights the situation of these women with particular regard to work, education and family. The focus is on potentials for individual empowerment and emancipatory strategies. Argues that the impairment might be identified as a driving force that allows the transcending of constraints of traditional work and family gender roles.
