Description: Harpy is a tonic; a tongue - in - cheek manual for dealing with Spanish Inquisition - style questioning about saying pass to procreation and building an enriching life beyond the nuclear family Vogue Harpy made me nod in recognition and shake my head with sorrow and then it made me laugh out loud Emilie PINE author of Notes TO SELF and RUTH & PEN Defiant funny and inspiring SE N Hewitt author of ALL DOWN Darkness WIDE Each generation has more childfree women than the one before. For many it is an active decision made for a wide range of reasons. Despite this growing trend we continue to live in a society where women are often judged for deciding to remain childfree - for not conforming to narrow expectations. For being a Harpy. In this timely and thoughtful book Caroline Magennis looks beyond the often - divisive conversation around women who choose to be childfree and offers an alternative message of hope and celebration. With humour and intelligence she explores why motherhood isn't right for everybody and how any woman - whether a parent or childfree - can live a full life while also reminding the reader that your freedoms and the right to autonomy should never be taken for granted.
