Childfree Candian women's anthology

"Nobody's Mother," a new collection of essays from childfree Canadian women, has just been released. According to an article about the book in the Times Colonist, the book includes "input from such well-known names as CBC host Shelagh Rogers, who wanted children but was physically unable; poet Lorna Crozier, who questions the negativity of words used to describe "the condition" -- words such as childless, barren and fruitless; and Maggie de Vries, author of Missing Sarah, who, in her 20s, terminated a pregnancy, assuming she would later marry and have a family but in the end, chose a life with a man who did not want children."
