Women Without Kids

This book is a gift for people who are unsure of whether to have children or haven't had them - as a result of circumstance or choice - and feel unresolved about it...By the end I felt informed, vindicated and blessed to live in a time when women can shape their lives in a way that my mother's and her mother's generations could not. - Marianne Power, The Times

In Women Without Kids, Ruby Warrington offers a compassionate exploration into what can be a highly loaded and emotional topic - the choice whether or not to have children. She explores the different factors that contribute to this decision, while her honest and vulnerable sharing of her personal journey inspires deep self-reflection in readers. Women Without Kids is a must-read for anyone seeking a full understanding of all the dynamics that play into this significant life choice. - Dr. Nicole LePera, New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work

A sharp and intricate look at the personal and political sides of being a child-free woman. While reading, I was reminded of the first time I read Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me - this is an exciting, bold, feminist book that gives the child-free conversation the space it deserves. - Emma Gannon, bestselling author of Olive and host of the Ctrl Alt Delete podcast

So, what does a woman without children look like? Perhaps the more important question is, what could she look like? Warrington's book offers a new, exciting vision of this person, one who is part of an "unsung sisterhood" and does not discriminate between anyone being child-free by choice or childless by circumstance. - Kate Ng, The Independent

Women Without Kids is a necessary invitation for us to reconsider our relationship to and with motherhood. Traditionally, being a child-free woman is expected to come with shame and regret - Ruby's latest work adds celebration and necessary nuance to the story of women and people of all genders intentionally living child-free. - Rachel Cargle, founder of The Loveland Foundation, The Loveland Group, and Rich Auntie
