�Giving voice to ten women who chose not to have children, Susan Mogul�s video simultaneously offers a hilarious and poignant meditation on all manner of life choices and the necessity of living with their consequences.� -Los Angeles Times
�I was truly amazed at how much wit, insight, creativity, artistic imagination, spunk, beauty and fun you could wrap into 11 minutes! Bravo!�
- Elaine T. May, Barren in the Promised Land: Childless Americans and the Pursuit of Happiness
An awkward silence surrounds women who have not had children. Part documentary, part music video, Sing, O Barren Woman gives voice to ten middle-aged women who �come out� as non-mothers through word and song. "Never mentioned in public or given a voice, we�re invisible women who made a provocative choice."
There has been a dramatic increase in childlessness in the United States - and most of it voluntary - since the peak of the baby boom. This short film confronts the stereotype of the childless woman with irony, humor and pathos, and stimulates public dialogue on a taboo topic that confronts increasing numbers of women. This is the first U.S. film or video on voluntary childlessness.
