Sample Book Insights:

#1 I was super into the idea of being a mom when I was younger. Then I got older and became what some would call a tomboy because I played pickup basketball with my older brother and his friends, didn’t want to wear pink, and loved watching action movies.

#2 I grew up believing that motherhood was something I was going to do. I was told that morning sickness happens, and that once my baby bump is pronounced, I’ll have a nude photo shoot with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.

#3 Motherhood is portrayed as an effortless job that every woman wants to do, but in reality, it’s suffocating and defined by what a woman can be and what her life can look like.

#4 The boundaries of modern womanhood are expanding, but society has a long way to go in its treatment of childfree women. People must learn to not treat them as an inconvenience that’s been thrust upon them, and the public must resist the almost Pavlovian impulse of relegating childfree women to the outskirts of society.
