She is the author of Women Without Kids, the revolutionary rise of an unsung sisterhood.
That feeling, that sensation of there being an unsung sisterhood of women who don't have children, whether it's by choice or by circumstance was one of the motivating factors behind me wanting to write this book.
The book is for anyone who identifies as a woman without kids, including women who were mothers who want to stay connected to the woman that they are without their kids.
It says, "And if our unconventional path draws criticism, this in turn means committing to radical self-love and establishing one's own code of ethics while seeking fulfillment and a sense of purpose outside of the tidy parameters of what is deemed socially acceptable. This process will be familiar to anybody who has ever experienced being othered or even persecuted, whether due to race, religion, sexuality, gender expression, disability, or class, or for being single, for getting a divorce, for having an abortion, or for being a less than perfectly selfless mom. All experiences that require a person, first and foremost, to uncover and advocate for who we are and what we need, no matter what our family, our culture, or society at large has to say about it."
