Ruby Warrington joins us to discuss the often overlooked experiences of women who do not have children - by choice or circumstance. How the deeply ingrained belief that womanhood is synonymous with motherhood can be a tool to suppress women's sexuality and autonomy. The reasons women may choose to be child-free – and the myriad ways women can define their lives and identities outside of motherhood; and Why we need community and conversation for everyone on the motherhood spectrum.
