Beyond Baba Yaga

Fee breathed new life into Bristol dedicated Childfree Women's MeetUp group to the point where it now has almost 1000 members. In her late 40s, she went back to Uni to study Psychology.

As a teenager, Fenella realised that activism was more important to her than having children.

I got in touch with her about living childfree after reading a great article she wrote on the matter for HELLO! Magazine.
