- Information
Description
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.
