Alternately pitied and scorned, childless women are rarely asked directly about the reasons for their status; the elephant in the living room, childlessness is a taboo subject. <P>Asking the hard questions, Madelyn Cain uncovers the many reasons for childlessness--from infertility to a focus on a career to even political action--and explores the ramifications, both personal and sociological. Simultaneously compassionate and journalistically curious, <I>The Childless Revolution</I> is informed by the stories of over 100 childless women, at long last giving voice to their experience and validating the jumble of emotions women feel about being a part of such a controversial population. For childless women and their families everywhere, this is the first--and long overdue--book to put a face on women who have made a largely misunderstood reproductive choice. 206594 4 2002 The Childless Revolution: What It Means to Be Childless Today total:40|5:10|4:17|3:11|2:2|1:0| 40 155 67 12 4 1 false false Fri Nov 28 12:46:02 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 29 05:44:34 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Dec 08 09:48:07 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 06 20:39:27 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Sep 04 08:47:27 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 08:48:44 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 12:07:38 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 30 07:01:38 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Aug 16 16:55:31 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 16:55:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 29 19:27:08 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 19:29:03 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Sep 27 09:03:18 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 09:03:53 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Apr 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 21:12:44 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 21:58:36 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Apr 09 08:42:35 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 08:43:58 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jan 23 11:00:59 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 23 11:05:18 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Sep 24 17:28:05 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 17:28:13 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Thu Jun 28 20:47:18 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 28 20:48:13 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sat Nov 21 11:44:49 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 11:44:49 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 30 21:57:46 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 20 02:32:58 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Oct 23 19:52:53 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 19:52:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 22 19:57:12 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 19:57:12 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Sep 11 15:56:00 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 15:56:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 30 19:09:18 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 19:09:18 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 31 12:33:24 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 09:46:01 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 12:33:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 12 14:26:40 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 14:26:40 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=213414
