## Resource

Emma Duval is a self-described member of the “millennial generation,” who include the growing number of women who are childless and as, Emma puts it, “childfree” by choice. Although now married, Duval’s early inspirations were independent, unmarried women, and as a teenager she contemplated becoming a nun in rejection of societal norms surrounding marriage. She is the author-illustrator of the recently published book,  Unwed & Unbothered: The Defiant Lives of Single Women,  which celebrates the courageous lives and remarkable contributions of such women throughout history, going back thousands of years. Recorded 11/5/25.
