Childfree by Choice: The Movement Redefining Family and Creating a New Age of Independence by Amy Blackstone

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

3.0

Overall, this provides a great overview of the childfree movement. It will challenge your ideas of motherhood, womanhood, and sexual division of labor- both of household work and fertility labor. I would have liked a better explanation of what she means when she says “pronatalism” and some of the studies cited would have been biased by the nature of who was initiating the study. I’m not sure I’m entirely convinced by her argument of what “causes” the childfree choice, but it does provide a lot to consider.
