Editors Note: Her Childfree Life explores autonomy, feminism, and choice through my own lived experience — as a white, childfree woman navigating autonomy, identity, and freedom. I know that not everyone has the same access to choice, safety, or voice. I can only write what I know, and I welcome open discourse and opportunities to learn more.
