Summary:

"The author offers us a bold reflection on the Right to Refrain from Having Children and Non-Motherhood, fearlessly defending our stance against the culture of motherhood as a natural instinct, an unavoidable destiny, obligatorily conditioned for all women. Although there is a federal law that grants the right to refrain from having children through family planning, the subject is taboo and little discussed when it comes to women's reproductive rights. With courage and firmness, the author pragmatically uses the vast scientific evidence from her research to highlight how some feminist movements have silenced Black women and to expose the impact this has had on women's rights. She also addresses the impact of essentialist/naturalist feminism on the struggle for women's reproductive self-determination, and finally dedicates a chapter specifically to the Right to Refrain from Having Children, according to current federal legislation. The book is an invitation to redefine the role of motherhood (or parenthood) in the construction of the identity of each one of us, providing space for legitimate, possible and complete thoughts and experiences, in the absence of daughters or sons." -- Amazon.com.
