Helen Mirren speaks out on being childfree

Helen Mirren has always been a powerful role model for childfree women.  I was heartened to see this positive piece in the Telegraph this week  Helen Mirren confronts the final female taboo 

Many women make a positive choice to not have children and be childfree.

Earlier this week, I was on Talkback on BBC Radio Ulster where we discussed the issue of choosing to be childfree. which got very lively when one of the callers said that she could see nothing more fulfilling than being a mother!  Sadly, that viewpoint is still all too common.
