Tune in for the first episode in New Legacy Radio's History series! People without children have always existed, and as our demographic grows, it is important to see ourselves reflected throughout history, and to recognize the valued lives and contributions of those who never had children. As our community becomes more visible, thanks to activists, writers, filmmakers, and others, we have an opportunity to celebrate the lives and influences of our community, past and present. On today's show, we will also celebrate the publication of Laura Carroll's new book, A Special Sisterhood: 100 Fascinating Women From History Who Never Had Children, which is out today! This brilliant book includes brief narratives and illustrations of women from history, who never had children, including a profile from 350 AD! Join us as we delve into the meaningful impact these women have had in the world, who share a bond of not becoming mothers, in their life journeys. We will also discuss current challenges and opportunities for women and our collective community to come together in new ways, inclusive of all the ways we have experienced this life path, and why this matters now.
