Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Dissenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lops, and today I'm joined by Dr. Orna Donov. She's a sociologist, lecturer, writer, and feminist activist. She teaches at Tel Aviv University, Ben Gurion University, and the Academic College of Tel Aviv Yafo.

Her field of study focuses on the social expectations projected on women. both those who are mothers and those who are not, specially by choice. And today we're going to focus mostly on her book, Regretting Motherhood, a study. So Dr. Donaf, welcome to the show.

It's a big pleasure to everyone. Thank you very much for inviting me. So uh let me ask you this to start off with. So What motivated you to study this phenomenon of women who regret motherhood and why do you think it is important for us to understand it?
