  A deeply personal exploration of childless and childfree women in their own words. 
   
   
   
  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 fulfillment 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 childless by choice, circumstance, or ambivalence and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.

Decades later, his crimes have all but been forgotten.

  This is small part of introduction of the book: Desmond Mpilo Tutu, a name synonymous with courage, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to justice, was a South African Anglican cleric who served as Archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1996. Born into a segregated society under the oppressive regime of apartheid, Tutu emerged as a beacon of hope and a powerful voice for the oppressed. His unwavering belief in human dignity and his tireless efforts to dismantle the apartheid system earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. 
  This biography delves into the remarkable life of Desmond Tutu, exploring his journey from humble beginnings to becoming a global icon of peace and reconciliation. It chronicles his early life, education, and conversion to Christianity, highlighting the pivotal moments that shaped his character and set the stage for his extraordinary contributions to society. 
  Tutu's life was a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and bring about positive change. His legacy lives on, not only in South Africa's transition to democracy but also in the countless individuals and organizations around the world inspired by his unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human rights. 
  Early Life and Education 
  Born on October 7, 1931, in Klerksdorp, a small town in South Africa's Transvaal Province, Desmond Tutu grew up amidst the harsh realities of apartheid. His family was of mixed ancestry, with Xhosa and Motswana heritage, and he experienced firsthand the discrimination and segregation that defined the lives of Black South Africans under apartheid. 
  Despite the challenges he faced, Tutu was a bright and inquisitive child. He excelled in his studies and was particularly drawn to literature and history. After completing his primary education, he attended St. Peter's College in Johannesburg, where he continued to excel academically and demonstrated a strong leadership potential.
