Despite being a few years away from being ready to have children, I had been long since looking for a book like this—one that acknowledged that this choice to parent, especially in this era, was deeply political. I was surprised to find that this book was full of reminders that the choice is also deeply personal; that it cannot be made by tallying pros and cons and either side. That it is rooted in my beliefs, circumstances, identities, and that there isn't a right or wrong way to go about it. As yet another millennial/Gen-Z with crippling climate anxiety, it was powerful and hopeful to hear about climate scientists stubbornly holding on to hope, and not necessarily a fight for the future ™ but a fight for some slice of it. The book was also an important meditation on my version of feminism, one that focuses on empowerment outside the home, and sees familial life as the sole other possible locus. It forced me to think about a life where work (both unpaid domestic labour and a paid job/career) were two among many important centers of my life, with neither being forced into becoming the nexus from which I derived the meaning of my existence.

A balanced argument as to what it means to bring children into today's world. A must-read for any woman - childfree and mothers alike.
