“…Taking these negative stereotypes of childfree women into consideration, Gillespie (2003) asks whether it is at all possible for childfree women to develop a positive feminine identity, separate from motherhood. Previous studies also indicate that childfree women create a strong childfree identity only after their reproductive period has ended (Bartlett, 1994; Ireland, 1993; Morell, 1994). As Gayle Letherby (2002b) notes, identity rests on the process of social comparison.…”

“…Since the 1960s, when feminism challenged the proposition that women and mothers were equal, the idea of motherhood by choice has spread in Western societies (Thorn & Yalom, 1982). Studies have shown that an increasing number of women in Western Europe and North America are choosing to remain childless (Bartlett, 1996; Gillespie, 2003; McAllister & Clarke, 1998; Morell, 1994, 2000). These Western studies have tended to highlight the attractions of a childless life, such as freedom, autonomy, and the increased opportunities to develop a career and relationships with other adults.…”
