Toronto, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/05/2015 -- According to a recent article in the Huffington Post, Millennial-focused media are just beginning to recognize an emerging mindset from women who are childless by choice, also known as the "Empty Carriage" woman.

Award winning author, Marian L. Thomas, delivers a hilarious and often candid take on why she made the decision to become an "Empty Carriage" woman in her new book, Living The Empty Carriage Way Of Life

"Women today are empowering themselves and defining who they are which includes the decision not to push the carriage or fill it for that matter and that's what being an "Empty Carriage" woman is all about," says Thomas. "It tells people that you're okay with your decision and you're okay with where you are in life," Thomas adds.

Thomas is not alone in her decision not to have children. In 2008, 24% of women between the ages of 40-44 who held a bachelor's degree refrained from entering into the nine-month birthing cycle. Not to mention, a number of celebrities who are popularizing this path including: Oprah Winfrey, Chelsea Handler, ZooeyDeschanel, Ashley Judd and Cameron Diaz.
