Our guest today needs no introduction, as she’s the guest of our most-beloved episode. That’s right, we’re talking to Marcia Drut-Davis to cap off our three-part series on childfree trailblazers. Now 82 years young, Marcia is a pioneer of the childfree lifestyle and author of two books: ‘Confessions Of A Childfree Woman’ and ‘What? You Don’t Want Children?’ In 1974, Marcia revealed her childfree status on national television on a groundbreaking segment of ‘60 Minutes.’ We’ll be asking her all about the fabulous adventures she’s had in the past few years, what advice she has on making intergenerational friendships and so much more.Dinky is now on Substack — free of charge!

We’re kicking off the first episode in a series on childfree trailblazers with a conversation with Joan Eisenstodt. An Ohio native, Joan moved to Washington, DC in 1978 and worked in the hospitality industry by trade. She was an early member of The National Organization for Non-Parents, which later became the National Alliance For Optional Parenthood, before shutting down during the Reagan administration. Joan has been featured in publications like The Washington Post, New Legacy Radio, and more. In this episode, we talk with her about her experiences seeking sterilization in the 1970s, how she’s feeling about the current political climate, and more. Dinky is now on Substack — free of charge!
