"A single woman considers her life, the [lives] of the bold single ladies who have gone before her, and the long arc of slowly changing attitudes towards women"--,Provided by publisher.

As a single woman, Bolick invites us into her carefully considered, passionately lived life, weaving together the past and present to examine why she-- along with over 100 million American women, whose ranks keep growing-- remains unmarried. She shows us that contemporary debates about settling down, and having it all, are timeless-- the crucible upon which all thoughtful women have tried for centuries to forge a good life.
