Pride And Joy: The Lives And Passions Of Women Without Children
"The diverse, real-life stories inPride and Joyoffer a valuable sense of community for women who feel they stand alone in their families and in society because they have made the choice to remain childless."-- Gloria Feldt, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America"This is an important, fascinating, and brave book. Women have been told how they must have children to be happy. Now here comes a book that shows how happy women can bewithoutchildren. All of the women profiled are innovators, thinkers, risktakers who have listened hard to hear their own voice through the cultural din and not followed convention for convention's sake. Each tells us that there are many ways to make the journey of life worthwhile."-- Pepper Schwartz, author ofLove Between Equals: How Peer Marriage Really Works
