Women On The Couch

Other than Mother

This video lecture with slides is for those women who are both childfree by choice and childless through circumstance and loss, as well as those who are ambivalent, unsure or as yet undecided.

Why should not having children – through choice, circumstance, and loss still be a hot topic. Fascinated by rising statistics of childlessness, as well as in the ecological impact of parenthood, Emma wrote Other than Mother: Choosing Childlessness with Life in Mind (2016) to support those mulling this decision, as well as to highlight the ongoing stereotyping and ‘othering’ of the childfree.
