Yesterday had too many other things involved in it (mostly work-related), so I never did get to my blog. Let's pretend that didn't happen since in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. Today I'm going to make a list to reassure myself and my readers that the decision not to have children is a perfectly legitimate and not uncommon reproductive choice -- here are some notable people who never had children (with lots of credit to online sources...this list is definitely not off the top of my head -- but I tried to include a variety of people):
- Frida Kahlo
- Gloria Steinem
- Simone de Beauvoir
- Oprah
- Annie Sullivan (Helen Keller's teacher)
- Amelia Earhart
- Immanuel Kant (philosopher)
- Florence Nightingale
- Susan B. Anthony
- Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell
- Julia Child
- Christopher Walken
- Stevie Nicks (singer, of Fleetwood Mac fame)
- Katherine Hepburn
- Dr. Seuss (and nobody could say he didn't like children, either!)
- Jesus of Nazareth (um, argue with that, right?)
Alright, I'll leave it at that for now, even though I assure you that there are plenty more!
