To celebrate International Childfree Day this year, I am delighted to highlight some wonderful new books on the topic with an Irish connection. I have spoken to Nicole Louie about her book 'Others Like Me: The Stories of Women Without Children' so please listen to that episode when you have the chance. Here, I speak to Caroline Magennis about her new book 'Harpy: A Manifesto for Childfree Women'.
Caroline is a writer and academic, originally from the North of Ireland and now living in the U.K. She writes in a very accessible, empathic and humorous way. The book is future focused and hopeful - she explores how to live a childfree life, making the seemingly radical decision to believe people when they say they don't want children. We explore these themes as well as the specific impact of considering or making this decision in an Irish context. Harpy is available to buy now and you can follow Caroline on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/drmagennis/
