“An early desire for nonmotherhood is seen as the primary deviation a girl can take from her path toward becoming a socially acceptable woman, and it is often thought to be something that will change, or align, with time.”
Orna Donath, Regretting Motherhood

“Women, especially those over the age of 30, are caught within a mind-game of threats and warnings: Your time is running out for making a family. You may think that you’re not interested in being a mother, but you are wrong; the desire will strike you eventually, but then it will be too late. You are going to regret this.”
Orna Donath, Regretting Motherhood

“When it comes to reproduction and the transition to motherhood, it is crucial to cast doubt on this rhetoric of all-embracing choice: how much room to maneuver do women actually have if we are free to choose only what society wants us to choose?”
Orna Donath, Regretting Motherhood
