About Us.

We are a distinctive resource of news, commentary and connections for the growing community of women without children. We live in a Mom-centered environment, but we are not Moms, by choice or by chance.

​

We know that one of every six American women is childfree or childless, and nations around the world report comparably historic numbers, yet many of us feel isolated, accommodated, or overlooked.

​

The NotMom was launched in 2012 to spotlight the unique perspectives, legacies and dimensions of a woman’s life without motherhood through our blog, events and social networks. The NotMom is American in focus, but global in scope.

​

We embrace women who never wanted children, those who once hoped for them, and those who have never given birth but may care for stepchildren or young relatives. We are on different paths, on the same road.
