About this listen

Whatever became of the youth of the 60s, the turbulent era of sex, drugs and rock & roll? Kid Me Not, a new collection of intimate stories by women from the first generation ever to have access to The Pill, offers a unique perspective on the decade before Roe v. Wade, when free love wasn't always free. As the women's movement spread, these women faced a future of extraordinary possibilities possibilities seen by today's youth as commonplace.

These writers stories are universal they fell in love, most married, some divorced. Others divulge, for the first time, details kept hidden nearly five decades. Each recognized early the irresistible urge to defy tradition. They no longer felt obligated to follow in the footsteps of their mothers. Indeed, they no longer felt obligated to be mothers. In Kid Me Not with Foreword by Elizabeth Gilbert you'll discover how everyday women, childfree by choice or circumstance, created an array of fascinating, fulfilling lives.

I really enjoyed this audio book. The idea of not having kids never really occurred to me, but I can certainly understand and support those who do make this decision. It was interesting to hear the path that each woman took to get to No Kid status.

The structure of traveling through time, complete with a mini summary of each year reminded me of the context within which decisions were being made.

The book is a necessary tale to be heard in the current political climate where all progress these women made lies in the balance. With Roe v Wade already lost, women should hear and remember just what life was like without freedom of choice and how having the freedom to choose improved life for those who chose not to have children.

Listening to the book on Audible was a great way to read it. Kim Reed's narration was a perfect complement to the story.

I highly recommend!

Eye-opening for this mom (on my husband’s account.)
