About this listen

Each generation has more childfree women than the one before. For many, it is an active decision made for a wide range of reasons. Despite this growing trend, we continue to live in a society where women are often judged for deciding to remain childfree — for not conforming to narrow expectations. For being a Harpy.

In this timely and thoughtful book, Caroline Magennis looks beyond the often-divisive conversation around women who choose to be childfree and offers an alternative message of hope and celebration. With humor and intelligence, she explores why motherhood isn't right for everybody and how any woman — whether a parent or childfree — can live a full life, while also reminding the listener that your freedoms and the right to autonomy should never be taken for granted.

The joy in Caroline’s life and how she’s an unbias advocate for other people’s joy!

As a woman who has been plagued with self-doubt and questioning, I always wondered whether the life choices I was making were my own or the product of societal pressures. Caroline’s analysis and breakdown of cultural and literary influences that mirrored my upbringing helped me better understand what gives me joy in my life and how I shouldn’t be ashamed to seek it out. A wonderful listen & read. I look forward to more from this author!
