| Sumario: | Few people these days would oppose making the public realm of space, social services, and jobs accessible to women and men with disabilities. But what about access to the private realm of desire and sexuality? 'Loneliness and its Opposite' documents how two countries, generally imagined to be progressive, engage with this question in very different ways. Denmark and Sweden are both liberal welfare states, but they diverge dramatically when it comes to sexuality and disability.

Why do these differences exist, and how do both facilitation and hindrance play out in practice? |
