Kritik
«This book - which is written beautifully, with exemplary clarity - offers a fascinating exploration of voluntary childlessness in contemporary French texts, as well as articulating a paradigm shift in the relation between maternity (refused or otherwise) and identity.»
(Kathryn Robson, French Studies: A Quarterly Review, Vol.72, No.1/2018)

«In what is a timely move, Nathalie Edwards has produced an original and fascinating book which constitutes a bold intervention in the field of motherhood studies and an innovative contribution to studies in life writing.»
(Shirley Jordan, Life Writing Jun. 2017)

«Voicing Voluntary Childlessness est d'une indéniable importance pour l'étude de la littérature contemporaine des femmes en ce qu'il s'attache aux alternatives à une identité féminine normative et touche à un sujet encore tabou qu'est le refus ou le non-désir d'être mère.»
(Evelyne Ledoux-Beaugrand, Romanische Forschungen 129 / 2017)mehr
