In this week's episode of Spinsterhood Reimagined, I talk to childfree pioneer, teacher and author, Marcia Drut-Davis.

In this episode, Marcia and I talk about her appearance on US TV News show, 60 Minutes, and its aftermath, including how she lost her job as a highly sought-after substitute teacher; and the impact that not wanting children had on her mother-in-law.
We also talk about Marcia’s ‘daughter’ and ‘grand-daughter’ friends who are a big part of her life; her thoughts on when and how she realised she didn’t want children; and the book ‘The Baby Trap’ by Ellen Peck which had a profound effect on her life.
Marcia and I also chat about her recent 80th birthday; how the incredible freedom of being childfree has been one of the greatest advantages of her life; and how many parents interpret the freedom of being childfree as ‘selfish’.
Our conversation also encompasses the two documentaries, To Kid Or Not To Kid and My So-Called Selfish Life, that Marcia has been involved in; her experience of parents who have come to discover that the ‘fairytale’ of having children could not be further from the truth; and how pro-natalism has much to answer for when it comes to societal expectations around having a family.
Finally, we talk about the difference between identifying as ‘childfree’ or ‘childless’; and the two books that she’s written, ‘Confessions Of A Childfree Woman’ and ‘What?! You Don’t Want Children?’
