Melanie Notkin, founder of Savvy Auntie and the author of Otherhood: Modern Women Finding A New Kind of Happiness (Seal Press, 2014), coins the word "otherhood" to define and offer encouragement to a demographic of single women like herself who are childless, but not necessarily by choice.

Otherhood, Modern Women Finding a New Kind of Happiness, Melanie Notkin
We usually think of women who are not mothers as the exception, but Notkin says otherwise: almost 50 per cent of women of child-bearing age in the U.S. are childless. The Canadian-born, New York-based author explores the implications of this “otherhood” issue through anecdote and reportage.

NBC News: The Otherhood: Single women face 'circumstantial infertility'
Melanie Notkin wanted love, marriage, and then the proverbial baby carriage — in that order.
By the time she reached her early forties, the entrepreneur and author was still single and appreciated the likelihood that, despite wanting desperately to be a mother, she might never give birth to a child on her own.

Hotel-Industry.co.uk: A “Mammoth” New Experience for PANKs At The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa
Perfect for PANKs – Professional Aunts No Kids – the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa has partnered with National Museums Scotland to offer an aunt-friendly package.
11/02/2014: The Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh has launched a “Mammoth” package to entice the lucrative PANK demographic with luxury accommodation and tickets to the Mammoths of the Ice Age exhibition.
The PANK trend – currently hot in the US where around 42% of women up to 44 years old do not have children – is generally reflective of women choosing to have children later in life, or not at all, who enjoy a close relationship with relatives’ children. Travel firms in the US have become increasingly aware of the power of the PANKs, with their love of travel and levels of disposable income, and are targeting this sector. It is a trend that’s set to grow in the UK and the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa has partnered with National Museums Scotland to offer PANKs an opportunity to get up close with woolly mammoths and share quality time and experiences with their cherished nieces and nephews.
