I listened to this twice because I felt like there was so much here I needed to dig deeper into it, and it's such an important work. The author tells her own story but also truly examines the different ways that women can choose to exist without children. I do adore that her original title for the book (which was unfortunately nixed) was "Selfish Cunts" as it seems to encapsulate some of what's happening here but not everything, and there's still so much more to explore as well. I was thinking about how women with kids are encouraged to tell their "birth story", and I think all of us without kids really need to tell our stories (which Warrington does beautifully here) as well.

"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.
