Notes:	There are many ways in which women experience violence in the modern era: physically, sexually, psychologically, culturally. For women with intellectual disabilities these experiences tend to be compounded by additional layers of violence and oppression linked to their deviant status. Identity scholars claim that telling our story alleviates some of the oppression encountered by being ‘other’ in the dominant culture. This paper explores the intersection of personal story and identity formation for women with profound intellectual disabilities, nominating the failure of society to listen as the primary violent act.
