The Margin

An invitation-only platform for disabled women thinkers, leaders, and public actors.

This is an invitation-only platform centring disabled women as leaders, thinkers, and public actors.

It exists to challenge the structural invisibility of disabled women within feminist, academic, policy, and leadership spaces where disabled insight is often extracted, diluted, or rendered marginal.

The platform prioritises intellectual authority, ethical leadership, and public intervention over scale, branding, or performative inclusion. Participation is selective and by invitation only. All contributions are named. There is no open membership and no application process.

This is not a support group or a public community. It is a space for disabled women who are already shaping thought, practice, and public life, and who require a room that recognises their authority rather than containing it.

Writing & Interventions

Founder

Dr Abbie Muchecheti is a writer and scholar whose work foregrounds disability, race, and gender as political questions of voice, authority, and public life. She examines how institutions produce silence—through policy, expertise, and everyday gatekeeping—and how disabled women organise intellectual and civic power beyond performative inclusion.
