Motherhood
Sir, — The anguish of women who wish to bear children but who are unable to do so is beyond question. We suggest, however, that this anguish is intensified by social pressures arising from the belief that women are only fulfilled through motherhood. This belief is damaging to all women, struggling to achieve dignity as individuals in their own right. — Yours, etc., JO MOFFAT,
CYNTHIA SPITTAL, MARGARET CURNOW, BARBARA SMITH, LINDSAY MACBETH. March 8, 1985.
