"A startling, confronting, and liberating treatise." --Holly
Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of Quit Like a Woman
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 first-in-a-civilization
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 mom.
Our experiences and discourse around non-motherhood are central to
women's ongoing fight for gender equality. And 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 valorize 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--no longer pariahs or misfits, but as a
vital part of our evolution and collective healing as women, as
humans, and as a global family.
