An interesting collection, though I think more heterosexual voices would have added something interesting to the mix of women writing about their choice to not have children.

I found this book at the right time in my life, a few years ago when I was really struggling with my lack of desire to have children and, in fact, my positive desire to not have children. This anthology includes several short essays and some poetry all about being, as the title indicates, childless by choice. Why do people choose to remain childless? What struggles do they face? How do others respond to them? Seeing how other people answered and dealt with these questions made it easier for me to deal with them myself and to come to terms with my own choice.
