In this episode of She's Not Done Yet: Conversations with Women over 50, Becky Berry (that’s me) talks with author Laura Carroll.

When Laura’s publicist reached out to me about interviewing Laura about her book, “A Special Sisterhood: 100 Fascinating Women from History Who Never Had Children,” I jumped on the opportunity. Women’s history is one of my absolute favorite topics. And I love that Laura included the goddesses of ancient Greece to Sally Ride.

Laura is a veteran writer who has written several books including, “Finding Fulfillment From the Inside Out” on changing careers and “Families of Two: Interviews with Happily Married Couples without Children By Choice.”

In our chat, Laura and I talk about how she chose these 100 women from the 300+ she had researched, the importance of reclaiming women’s history, and the current trends in forcing women to have children.

I was particularly struck by the number of female secular martyrs she included. It’s a topic a lot of books avoid.

The book is fascinating, and our talk was enlightening. Hope you enjoy it!
