Children and Cohousing - The Birth of an International Social Movement

Pioneer of the cohousing movement, Hildur Jackson, describes the positive implications of this 40 year experiment and how it all began.

Do women have a choice? In 1969 I was sitting in my new house in Copenhagen with my two bouncing baby boys of six and 18 months. I had just finished my law degree and was speculating over what my life would be like.

There was no apparent third option.
