Simone de Beauvoir's Babies
After a twenty year school reunion, a group of partnerless women decide to re-evoke the solidarity of their teenage years and make a pact to procreate—en masse. Not everyone gets a baby but everyone wins a prize. For some it's creative commitment for others it's true love.
