Reflections on a Life Without Kids

In perhaps her most honest memoir yet, Tali reflects on the realities—both positive and negative—of being a childless woman in a society full of families. How, for instance, does it affect a woman’s identity when she remains forever in the child role and never graduates to become the parent? Incorporating her own thoughts and experiences as well as those of other women, she takes on a topic that can be sensitive for both women who never intended to have children and those who always assumed they would. Her enlightening take on a life most people will not experience is perfect for those who are curious about a child-free life, want to avoid offending or excluding those without children, or just enjoy Tali’s honest and reflective prose on topics so relevant to our lives.

A great read for everyone who knows women. Read: everyone

I both read it & listened on audio. The virtual voice misses many of the nuances that makes Tali’s writing so sharp witted, so I enjoyed reading it more. Good research, good presentation, and includes the disclaimer that these are the views of the author, along with the background that appears to have contributed to forming these views. I believe this to be a relevant subject that we should all work harder to understand.
