Announcement

Thirty six years ago, in 1974, I made a difficult choice. Although I presumed having and raising children should be my biological destiny, I didn't embrace the difficult work of that lifestyle. I appeared on "60 Minutes" where I announced I would remain childfree. The next day I lost my job as a passionate, devoted teacher. My life was threatened. My dog's life was threatened. I became aware of the pressure called pronatalism to become a mother. People picketed the places where I was asked to speak holding signs that read,"Selfish Woman" One angry women screamed "It's all well and good now. How will you feel when you're old, alone and missing chocolate kisses from your grandkids?"
I'm now writing a memoir reflecting my responses to that admonition. I'm also searching for others who made this choice to see if they missed those chocolate kisses.
