The woman in a wheelchair is winning beauty pageants and living the life she dreams of!

What mental image does the term woman in a wheelchair conjure up in your mind? You probably see a shrunken old woman, frail and small, hiding herself from the profane gaze of the world. And yet disabled women all over the world have come together for recognition in an informal movement that is gaining force every day. The stereotype looks to be broken very soon. A woman in a wheelchair is no longer the subject of pity; she is moving up in the world and getting things done her way.

The standardized concept of beauty in our society does not include women who are physically challenged. But now opportunities like the Miss Wheelchair America pageant are a step in that direction. A woman in a wheelchair is not less likely to be a winner in life than any other woman. The contest is not really about beauty, but also about character and integrity. Anyone between 21 and 60 can participate and be judged on the basis of their education, their intelligence, charm and inner beauty. Ideals most regular pageants have failed to internalize!

In a society where disabled people at large are treated as second-class citizens, the woman in a wheelchair has broken the mental paradigms of helplessness and immobility. She does not need somebody else to certify her beauty or ability. The wheelchair that was her bane is now her greatest strength. With constant innovations in wheelchair production focused around making the wheelchair she rides better by the day, she is pulling out all the stops and going places.
