Kate Bolick Spinster
making a life of one's own
Gedrukt boek
This book looks at the pleasures and possibilities of remaining single. Using her own experiences as a starting point, journalist and cultural critic Kate 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.This unprecedented demographic shift is the outcome of hundreds of years of change that has neither been fully understood, nor appreciated. The book introduces a cast of pioneering women from the last century whose genius and flair for drama have emboldened Bolick to fashion her life on her own terms: columnist Neith Boyce, essayist Maeve Brennan, social visionary Charlotte Perkins Gilman, poet Edna St. Vincent Millay and novelist Edith Wharton.
