Like Unto Like is a novel written by Sherwood Bonner and published in 1878. The story is set in the American South during the Reconstruction Era and follows the lives of two women from different backgrounds, one white and one black.

The black protagonist, Mandy, is a former slave who becomes a successful businesswoman. The two women's lives intersect when Virginia hires Mandy to work as her seamstress. The novel explores themes of race, class, and gender, as well as the challenges faced by women during this time period.
