Book Launch: Others Like Me - The Lives of Women Without Children

📙 Join me on June 13th at Hodges Figgis to celebrate the launch of Others Like Me: The Lives of Women Without Children (Dialogue Books).

📜 Synopsis:

Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world, from different walks of life, who don't have children. It's also the story of why Nicole Louie had to find these women and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which people find fulfilment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Louie focuses solely on them, their experiences and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are not mothers by choice, infertility, circumstance or ambivalence and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.

🎤 Our MC is Danni Taaffe, climate justice activist, writer, former BBC journalist and organiser of Ireland’s “Sisterhood: Childfree by Choice” Meetup group.

😃 All (parents and non-parents) are welcome to join us for readings, questions, book signings, snacks, and wine.

I hope to see you there!

Nicole
