About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

🤓 Book Club: If you live in Dublin or nearby, join us for an engaging discussion at the lovely Arboretum Urban Green cafe (above Chapters Bookstore) as we delve into the book Others Like Me: The Lives of Women Without Children to explore the unique experiences, challenges, and joys of being a woman without children in today's society. Whether you're a part of this group or simply curious about their stories, you're welcome to attend in person to connect with others and hear more about the making of this book over a cup of coffee or tea.

📙 Book 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 I had to find them and what they taught me. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in women find fulfilment outside of motherhood.
