S1E6: Call Her Courageously Insightful - An interview with author and Israeli feminist Orna Donath

Text us your thoughts on this episode!

Host Kelley Daring interviews Orna Donath, who conducted a study on women who regret becoming mothers and wrote a book about it (Regretting Motherhood). Orna was inspired by her previous study on Jewish Israeli women and men who don't want to be parents and the idea of women being promised that they will regret not becoming mothers troubled her and led her to explore the topic of regret and motherhood. She interviewed women who regretted becoming mothers and found that there was no previous academic study on the topic.
