Never before have more women lived longer before having their first child or remained childless toward the end of their fertility. Nearly half of North American women of childbearing age are childless--a dramatic rise from 35 percent in 1976--yet childless women are still perceived as the exception, not the norm. In Otherhood, Melanie Notkin explores this modern phenomenon to understand the reasons for this shift, the social and emotional impact of childlessness, and how the "new normal" will impact social structures in the decades to come. By turns anecdotal storytelling, inspiration, reportage, and manifesto, Otherhood gets at the heart of our social consciousness around childlessness to trigger thought-provoking conversation. Notkin's intimate take on the trend affecting so many modern women is a groundbreaking exploration of this essential social issue"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Single women $z United States $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Childlessness $z United States. 650 0 $a Women's studies $z United States. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SELF-HELP / Personal Growth / General. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 9 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230704012305.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722042225.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717024643.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006075144.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418101733.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150509015651.0 952 $l JLPF081 $d 20150303021119.0 952 $l AGPE046 $d 20150221023851.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20140405010449.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3B9957288E3311E3B5D817AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
