Women Living Single: 30 Women Share Their Stories of Navigating Through a Married World

by Lee Reilly

Women Living Single: 30 Women Share Their Stories of Navigating Through a Married World Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Since single women are statistically happier than married women and single men, the idea that society still considers "old maids" a "condition" to be cured has its roots in mythologies long abandoned to reality. Reilly argues a case for the joys of single womanhood using interviews of 30 women between the ages of 28 and 76 who describe their family and friends, careers, the ways that society perceives them and how they perceive themselves. These women (painter, filmmaker, teacher, fire fighter, nurse) demonstrate the attractive diversity on the other side of marriage where women are doing everything but waiting for Prince Charming to save them.
