I Don’t Want to Be a Mom – Irene Olmo (Paperback / Soft Cover)

What does choice ? really ?mean for a woman?

In ?I Dont Want to Be a Mom, ?Irene Olmo recounts her coming-of-age transformation from assuming she will one day start a family to realizing that she just doesnt want to be a mom. With an affecting mix of humor and introspection, she describes the subtle and not-so-subtle ways she was pressured to have children and the feelings of isolation and self-doubt that ensued. Her delightful full-color illustrations capture perfectly the maddeningly narrow-minded reactions of those around her as well as her own discomfort and frustration.

A true story of liberation and self-empowerment in the face of societal prejudice, ? I Dont Want to Be a Mom ?questions the imposition of motherhood on women as both an expectation and a path toward fulfillment. It shows us that”choice”has more than one dimension and that, ultimately, some questions in life are more complicated than they seem.
