Yes, We Are Allowed to Regret Motherhood
Orna Donath, who has become the face of the non-parenthood movement, explains why this seemingly unfathomable choice can make perfect sense.
Over the last few years, Orna Donath has turned into a professional iconoclast, challenging some of Israel’s most sacred cows. In a country where parenthood is virtually a societal imperative, she published a book in 2011 called “Taking a Choice: Being Childless in Israel,” and went on to write a doctoral thesis about women who regret having become mothers. As if it weren’t bad enough that she was shirking her duty in the country’s all-important demographic war – now she has the gall to claim there are women who are sorry they became mothers? Just what kind of woman is she?
