"Offering a timely rejoinder to pronatalism, Childfree Across the Disciplines features numerous authors who see 'reproductive consciousness' as a key component of reproductive justice. This volume’s perspective is especially vital in a world that too often assumes childlessness to be a sacrifice, default, or deficit, rather than accurately representing what childfreedom is: a reasoned and purposeful attempt to forge identities and life pathways that are not circumscribed by reproductive imperatives." - Suzanne Leonard (co-editor of Imagining "We" in the Age of "I": Romance and Social Bonding in Contemporary Culture) "Childfree Across the Disciplines is a first of its kind, bringing academic and activist voices together as it challenges readers to rethink what they think they know to be true about the childfree choice, who makes it, and why." - Amy Blackstone (author of Childfree by Choice: The Movement Redefining Family and Creating a New Age of Independence) "Offering a timely rejoinder to pronatalism, Childfree Across the Disciplines features numerous authors who see 'reproductive consciousness' as a key component of reproductive justice.
