Product Description (from JPRO)

I'm glad I had children. I'm glad I didn't have children. Our emotions sway between these extremes. When did childfree women, once a natural presence, become a problem to be solved? This book depicts how the Industrial Revolution, wars, recessions, religion, environmental issues, and medicine have tossed women's lives about and changed their choices. It delves into the untold thoughts of women behind the choices society imposes, liberating women from modern conventions.
