Some SF works that center around women and disability:

"The Girl Who Was Plugged In"
"Melora" - Star Trek DS9 episode. A scientist who uses a robotic exoskeleton. Her disability becomes her strength when gravity fails on the ship. "The crew welcomes Ensign Melora Pazlar, a cartographer on a mission to chart the Gamma Quadrant. Melora is an Elaysian, a species from a planet with very low gravity, and because of this, she must use a wheelchair and braces to get around in "normal" conditions."
