Description
by Marcia Drut-Davis (Author)
After declaring on 60 Minutes her desire to never have children, Marcia Drut-Davis was fired from her teaching job and began receiving death threats from outraged Americans. Now, in her stirring new memoir Confessions of a Childfree Woman, Drut-Davis tells the story behind that national TV appearance and recounts the painful aftermath.Along the way, Drut-Davis exposes and explores our culture's rampant pronatalism and the stigma we continue to attach to childless women. By taking us deep into her own life and the emotions-positive and negative-surrounding her bold choice, Drut-Davis lays bare our society's myth that true fulfillment and happiness can come only through procreation.Reflecting on her 70 years, Drut-Davis takes a fair look at what she's lost by not having children, but her focus always returns to all she has gained: a life lived with no regrets.
