Beskrivning
As a committed feminist, Carol Fox has achieved success for many women, but her greatest battle described in this book was very personal. Following serious fertility problems, Carol made the positive decision to become a single parent by choice, to have a child while she still could. Refused access to fertility treatment in Scotland she had no choice but to move to London. Through sheer determination and tenacity, Carol obtained treatment in England in the early 1990s and her daughter was born in 1992, following extensive fertility treatment and battles against judgemental attitudes which appear almost vindictive to us 25 years later.Her story attracted media attention, sparking debates on motherhood and the right to be a single parent in the UK. Written as a memoir addressed to her only daughter, the story continues to be of interest to a wider audience of women, young and old, mothers and non-mothers, as the chapters record the changing social attitudes towards single parents during the last 35 years.

Mer information

As a committed feminist Carol Fox has achieved success for very many women, but her greatest battle described in this book was very personal. Following serious fertility problems Carol made the positive decision to become a single parent by choice, to have a child while she still could. Carol was a lawyer specialising in equality and discrimination law, best known in Scotland for successfully fighting mass equal pay cases for low paid women and playing an active part in the Referendum campaign. She was also a political candidate on three occasions but was considered too controversial by half, following her decision to become a single mother by choice via infertility treatment in the late 1980's. In 2015, Carol stepped back from her life as a successful lawyer and all political activity to look after her mother who was dying of dementia. Now a grandmother herself, Carol is forging ahead to find a new path and to fulfil new dreams.
