This chapter investigates Woolf’s contradictory attitudes towards bodies outside what Rosemarie Garland-Thomson terms ‘the normate’. Woolf evinces a profound understanding of bodies experiencing illness or mental health issues, but she often displays callous, deeply normate reactions to bodies with structural or cognitive differences. Critics have noted these contradictions, typically using a medical humanities frame for assessing her treatment of illness and mental health, and a disability studies frame for assessing her treatment of structural and cognitive impairments. These separate frames are vital, yet their separation may also elide how Woolf uses certain forms of illness and disability to make other forms less visible. Drawing on her diary, the essays ‘On Being Ill’ and ‘Street Haunting’, and Mrs Dalloway, the chapter explores how Woolf’s attitudes reveal inherent tensions surrounding definitions of illness and disability and argues that we need a composite, multi-modal approach to evaluate her treatment of non-normate bodies.
