Helen Clark

by Lucas Chaney, 2020 Winner Selection Panel Member

When my wife Gina and I went on our annual international vacation to New Zealand last November, we were pleasantly surprised to find a rather large childfree community there! We learned that its former Prime Minister, Helen Clark, was notably childfree. This got us interested to learn more about Helen, her accomplishments and how she has promoted the childfree life…or at least has defended it.

Louisa May Alcott: A Profile of Courage and Self Determination

by Laura S. Scott

Author of Two is Enough: A Couple’s Guide to Living Childless by Choice

Like many of my peers growing up in the 60s and 70s, I was a big fan of Louisa May Alcott’s novel “Little Women.” Although it was written in 1868 (becoming an instant bestseller) these characters still resonated with me 100 years later.

by Laura LaVoie, 2015 Childfree Woman of the Year

Following from my Part 1 of Men Without Children in History, here are a few more amazing men in history who didn’t have children.

No Kids in Pre-Revolutionary France: Louise Le Mace

by Rachel Chrastil

I find inspiration in both famous childfree people and the less-sung individuals who created meaningful lives for themselves without children. We sometimes find them in unexpected times and places. One such person is an ordinary woman from pre-revolutionary France who had no children – a skilled tailor named Louise Le Mace. [Read more…] about No Kids in Pre-Revolutionary France: Louise Le Mace

For example, I was able to dive deeply in to the esoteric life of Pamela Coleman Smith, and took the WayBack machine to explore the life of Hypatia of Alexandria.
