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: \u003ci\u003eWhat if being a woman without kids were in fact its own kind of legacy?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTouching on themes like intergenerational healing, feminism, environmentalism, and more, this personal look and anthropological dig into a stubbornly taboo topic is a timely and brave reframing of what it means \u003ci\u003enot \u003c\/i\u003eto 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBoth bold and tenderhearted, \u003ci\u003eWomen Without Kids \u003c\/i\u003eseeks 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sounds True\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781649633088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Ruby Warrington","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43733074608309,"sku":"9781649633088","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6fcce8df-a461-4973-9080-f3ab1209062f.jpg?v=1710258158","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/women-without-kids-the-revolutionary-rise-of-an-unsung-sisterhood-9781649633088","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
