Women Without Kids

40

Women Without Kids is a special podcast series created from research interviews for my book of the same title, which will be published in spring 2023. The conversations here are with the authors, philosophers, healers, activists, anthropologists, and social scientists, whose work has helped me make sense of everything it means to be a "woman without kids" today—whatever our reasons for this.

    Women without kids (but on the fence?)
    I’m really conflicted with this podcast. I appreciate the thoughtful interviews, but the most recent episode with the woman who had permanent sterilization was strange. Ruby was discussing workaround plans for the woman “in case she changed her mind”…!!! As young childfree women, we get enough of this unwarranted feedback in the world, and we don’t need to ingest more media saying so. Also several of the episodes feel like Ruby is looking to be validated in her choice not to have kids. As a 32 year old I’m looking more for other and older women who are as steadfast in their choice as I am- I’d love to hear about the life that would have been unlived had she had children. I pre-ordered the book and I’m hoping this interview does not reflect the tenor of the text.

    The podcast/book I didn’t know I needed
    Ruby’s work is always ahead of her time. First with creating the term *sober curious* and now leading a nuanced conversation about women without kids. Check out this podcast and definitely order her book(s)!

    Tremendously considered
    Ruby Warrington has taken her training as a deeply investigative journalist, and turned her gaze first to her innermost private thoughts and emotions, her most intimate reflections, and then to the women in her personal circle, before finally extending this to a global sisterhood of women sharing authentically, a powerful sisterhood of honest reflections, pride, as well as pain, joy, despair, and the whole rollercoaster of childless-related emotions, including simply not having them, and not caring an iota. Absolutely not to be missed, and share this podcast widely with all your sisters, including women WITH kids, so they're able to glimpse into the lives and inner world of the women they know, who they simply don't have any way to really understand, without a guide like Ruby! Grateful for your service to humanity 🙌🏽📖✨
