Omschrijving

'A must-read for everyone' Stylist
'Tender, emotive and quietly revelatory' Irish Times
'A vital work' Stella Duffy

In a world that expects all women to become mothers, what happens to those who circumvent motherhood?

Now and throughout history, women without children have been misunderstood and even vilified for not conforming to the prescriptive path of daughter, wife, mother, whether by choice, circumstance or ambivalence. But with an increasing number of people choosing to forego children, Nicole Louie knew she was not alone. As she recounts her own journey towards embracing a life without children, Louie weaves in stories from the women around the world she found in her search for community and guidance, from their pasts to their presents to their hopes for the future.

Others Like Me is a candid, tender and distinctive exploration of how fourteen women found fulfilment and flourished outside of motherhood, upending stereotypes and offering reassurance and recognition down a much-treaded but lesser-known track.

'Deeply felt and deeply researched, books like this will help women decide what is right for them' Rowan Hisayo Buchanan
'An uplifting read about finding fulfilment outside of motherhood' The Gloss
'With candour and self-reflection, Louie takes us on her journey to a deeper understanding of wanting a life that does not include motherhood' Laura Carroll
'An important, beautiful, self-excavating memoir about female autonomy told with great tenderness' Nuala O'Connor
