Who’s the Confessor?
In 1974, Marcia Drut-Davis gave an interview to 60 Minutes, discussing her choice to not have children. In spite of her calm tone and rational explanation for her choice, many viewers were outraged. She lost her job as a teacher when parents and school staff assumed (incorrectly) that a childfree woman must surely despise children.
Despite receiving death threats for her childfree stance, Drut-Davis continued to advocate for a woman’s right to choose whether or not to bear and raise children. She has been a strong and steady voice in the movement.

What Makes This Book Important?
Though Marcia Drut-Davis doesn’t pretend she speaks for all childfree women, her book does answer the question, “But aren’t you afraid you’ll regret being childless when you’re older?” I’ll let the book’s ending speak for itself, but Drut-Davis’ life and experiences may assuage the fears of the would-be childfree woman as well as the worried, grandchild-less parent.
