Voluntarily Childfree discusses what it means to make a life worth
living without traditional parenthood. Themes include authenticity
and autonomy; partnership and support; fulfillment of the need to
nurture; freedom of choice; and a desire to simply leave the world
a better place than we found it. Most poignant, despite the stigmas
of selfishness and solitude, the voices in Voluntarily Childfree
speak of commitment to a different type of family that includes
romantic partners, friends, pets, and future generations through
mentorship and leading by example. At their core, the human desire
to connect and be heard remains.
