Others Like Me: The Lives of Women without Children

Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, 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 Nicole Louie's story and the story of why she had to find others like her.

As 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, circumstance, or ambivalence and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.

"Tender, emotive and quietly revelatory."
- Irish Times

"Louie’s tone is vulnerable and empathetic, making this a must-read for everyone."
- Stylist Magazine

“An affirming account of the lives of childless and childfree women.”
- Library Journal

"An important, beautiful, self-excavating memoir about female autonomy and joy found in childlessness, told with great tenderness."
- Nuala O'Connor, author of Seaborne

"Deeply felt and deeply researched, books like this will help women decide what is right for them."
- Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Harmless Like You

"Lyrical, full of insight, humanity and compassion. Others Like Me shows women who don't have children that there are so many others like us."
- Clodagh Finn, author of Through Her Eyes: A New History of Ireland in 21 Women

"Sharp insights into both childlessness and parenthood.”
