Eschewing two dominant narratives, that the childless are either barren and alone, or that they are carefree and selfish, \u003cem\u003eHow to Be Childless\u003c\/em\u003e instead argues that the lives of childless individuals from the past can help all of us expand our range of possibilities for the good life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn uncovering the voices and experiences of childless women from the past five hundred years, Chrastil demonstrates that the pathways to childlessness, so often simplified as choice and circumstance, are far more complex and interweaving. Balanced, deeply researched, and richly realized, \u003cem\u003eHow to be Childless\u003c\/em\u003e will empower readers, parents and childless alike, to navigate their lives with purpose.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46419503906967,"sku":"9780190918620","price":4119.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190918620.webp?v=1769074809","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/how-to-be-childless-a-history-and-philosophy-of-life-without-children-9780190918620","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
