Annotation: The Facts of Life is a memoir from Paula Knight of her experiences around gender, sexual education, pregnancy, miscarriage, and societal expectations. From a young age, she was exposed to the understanding that she would marry a man and have children. Knight guides the reader through her process of figuring out what her feelings about having children were. The iconography is excellent, especially a page with her drawn as a tree.
