'Frees (noun) from', OR 'frees (noun) of'?

Can you give us some context?

It should be looked upon as a natural life process that frees the mature women FROM/OF childbearing and moves her into the wise woman stage when she can lead a fulfilling life in many ways.

Thanks. I think either is equally common.

Thanks Roger

?

free from guilt, free from fear, free from prison.

I'm having second thoughts about this.

You can use both. Sorry. Maybe in slightly different ways:

Free of the necessity to....
Free from the threat of....

But in the context of the example given, I'd always use "from".
