520 |a Alejandro Morales's The Rag Doll Plagues is experiencing renewed scholarly interest. Scholars who have studied the impact female characters have on the actions of the recurrent male protagonist, Gregory, tend to rely on a feminist framework. Other scholars have focused on the role of illness and disability in the text, drawing on critical race theory and/or a new historicist approach. This essay uses a feminist disability approach to analyze the impact of illness on the novel's central female characters Marisela, Sandra, and Gabi. These women drive the plot yet they have not been examined with an intersectional framework that considers their race, gender, and disability in depth. To address this critical gap, this essay analyzes the characters from metaphorical and material perspectives, teasing out the significance of dis/ability to the novel.
