Without Child: Challenging the Stigma of ChildlessnessWithout Child challenges the stigma of childlessness by offering childless women the lifeaffirming story of themselves. Beginning with the difficult inner journey a woman faces before finally deciding or realizing she will not bear children, Without Child explores the myth of the childless woman's rejection of the maternal instinct.

Without Child challenges the stigma of childlessness by offering childless women the lifeaffirming story of themselves. Beginning with the difficult inner journey a woman faces before finally deciding or realizing she will not bear children, Without Child explores the myth of the childless woman's rejection of the maternal instinct. It also examines the childless woman's relationship to mothers and mothering, to her femininity, to men, to achievement, to her body, and to old age. Laurie Lisle contends that childless women are part of an ancient and respectable cultural tradition that includes biblical matriarchs, celibate saints, and nineteenth-century social reformers. However, like other aspects of women's history, this tradition has been forgotten and, in the process, maligned. Without Child bring childless women out of obscurity and places them back in women's history. Without Child brings scope and depth to a subject that has long been misunderstood. Weaving rich materials from history, literature, religion, and sociology with the author's own and other stories, this groundbreaking book does what no other has done before-presents childlessnessin a multifaceted and positive light. Most women grow up thinking they will become mothers, and many do follow that path. But for those women who are willingly or unwillingly without children, childlessness is a way of life that many of them must constantly defend. Without Child explores the facts and fallacies behind childlessness, what it means for women and society, and reminds us of how women can and do embrace this choice. In the shadow of a culture that claims to adore the child, Without Child bring a long forbidden topic into the light. Wide-ranging, yet intimate, philosophical, yet clear sighted, this important book will reassure millions of women that they are not alone, not unusual, and, in fact, are part of a long and honorable tradition. Laurie Lisle is the author of four other books besidesWithout Child: two biographies of women artists, a history of a girls'school, and a memoir from the point-of-view as a gardener. Raised in Rhode Island, she lives with her husband in Litchfield County, Connecticut and in Westchester County, New York.

Super quiet and slim keyboard
Color: Off White, Style: Battery Powered, Pattern Name: Keyboard
This keyboard is slim, stylish and super quiet! Very easy to set up and use right away without any problems. Seems very durable and I’m sure the battery life could be extended if I turned off the battery after using it but after a month of using it I have not had any issues. I bought the mouse that was recommended to go with it as well. Overall a great purchase.

Easy and sleek!
Size: 10 Inch, Color: Gold
I love the shelves! The gold finish pops on my white shelves. Easy to install, I was off by a half inch on the wood shelves I was using for the brackets but I was able to flip the brackets and use the underside to hold my shelves.

Great shelves! Does lean down in front
Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black, Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black
I'm very happy with these deep shelves. We bought the 12 inch bracket to help my mom keep her eggs (she loves her chickens) from taking over her kitchen counters. It came with all the hardware needed. Even some extras. And the anchors it came with were the kind I like that requires so drilling a hole first because they are pointed and you screw them in. Easy peasy. One negative to note is that going that large without having a brace/crosses section does mean it sagged a bit down on the front. Nothing should fall off but it is noticeable in person. Something to think about. All in all I love the look with the (2) 5/4"x 6" x 6' boards from Home Depot. I wanna do it at my house now. One day.

Pretty but screws are the wrong size
Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black, Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black
I definitely like the look of my shelves with these brackets, but be careful with the provided anchors and screws. The big anchors that you screw into the wall - if they aren’t perfectly flat the bracket will wiggle. Also, the screws and anchors aren’t compatible so you either need to buy smaller anchors or bigger screws so will hold tight. Unfortunately we installed half before figuring that out, so I ended up getting some small L brackets for each side so my shelves would be stable.
