Title: Otherhood – Essays About Being Childless Childfree And Child Adjacent
Author: BENGE ALIE

In Aotearoa the number of people who will never have children is growing – and
they’re pushing back against the narrative that if they don’t, their lives will be
somehow ‘less than’. Otherhood’s essays are by writers who’ve felt on the outside
looking in, who’ve lived unexpected lives, and who’ve given the finger to social
expectations. Some chose to be childfree, some didn’t get to choose, and some
– through bereavement or blended family dynamics – ask themselves: Am I a
mother or am I other?
Thought-provoking, moving and often hilarious, Otherhood opens a more
inclusive conversation about what makes a fulfilling life.
