This is a story of midlife reinvention, of friendships,
relationships and a working life all put to the test by the seismic
effects of menopause. But it is also a story of love and
homecoming. It is about the healing power of walking in nature, the
therapeutic process of writing and one woman's determination to
redefine what success and happiness look like. Living the dream
isn't all she hoped it would be when Lisa swaps a high-flying job
in London for a freelance life as a writer, editor and yoga teacher
by the sea in India. She struggles to control the tide of emotions
that hit her as the red mists of menopause descend and she begins
to question whether her new life - and her relationship with a much
younger man - are all she hoped they would be. When the pandemic
hits, Lisa decides that the universe has made the decision for her
and back in England, she falls for the charms of a man her own age.
However, he is not who he appears to be. Neither are the friends
she'd hoped would support her when she publishes her first book and
releases her 'dark horses' for all the world to see. After
travelling back to her homeland in Wales and reconnecting with 'The
Most Handsome Man in Goa' in India, Lisa is forced to confront her
dark horses alone when her health and hormones threaten to derail
the happiness she's learned to live for.
What is "woman" if not "mother"? Anything she wants to be.
Foregoing motherhood has traditionally marked a woman as "other."
With no official place setting for her in our society, she has
hovered on the sidelines: the quirky girl, the neurotic career
obsessive, the "eccentric" aunt. Instead of continuing to paint
women without kids as sad, self-obsessed, or somehow dysfunctional,
what if we saw them as boldly forging a new vision for a fully
autonomous womankind? Or as journalist and thought leader Ruby
Warrington asks, what if being a woman without kids were in fact
its own kind of legacy? Taking in themes from intergenerational
healing to feminism to environmentalism, this personal look and
anthropological dig into a stubbornly taboo topic is a timely and
brave reframing of what it means not to be a mum. Whether we are
childless by design or circumstance, we can live without regret,
shame, or compromise. Bold and tenderhearted, Women Without Kids
seeks first and foremost to help validate a path that is the
natural consequence of women having more say about the choices we
make and how our lives play out. Within this, it unites the unsung
sisterhood of non-mothers as a vital part of our evolution and
collective healing as women, as humans, and as a global family.
