Why is it that so many famous women didn't have children? Are some women not meant to have children as a sacrifice to their talent?

• I have to remember to give points. Sometimes I get so involved in what people say I can forget! Thank you for reminding me.

• Yes, I think that is often the case. I think about great women like Jane Austen, George Eliot, Isak Dinisen, Marie Cassatt and Georgia O'Keefe who never had children, and as an artist and writer myself I do worry!

• Okay, Georgia O'Keefe was a lesbian in the mid-1900s. I seriously doubt she would have had an easy time having children.

• You argue two completely contradicting perspectives here. First, you say that all women have the "biological function" of being able to mother. Then, you say that often, "women are NOT fit" for motherhood.

• This is completely irrelevant to women before the 1960s, when media became widely visual (tvs, etc)

• Well, I was thinking more along the lines of modern famous women.
