Childfree by choice : the movement redefining family & creating a new age of independence

Blackstone, Amy. (Author).

From Dr. Amy Blackstone, childfree woman, co-creator of the blog "we're {not} having a baby," and nationally recognized expert on the childfree choice comes a definitive investigation into the history and current growing movement of adults choosing to forgo parenthood: what it means for our society, economy, environment, perceived gender roles, and legacies, and how understanding and supporting all types of families can lead to positive outcomes for parents, non-parents, and children alike.
