Synopsis

PRAISE FOR ALL THE SINGLE LADIES

“Entirely engaging …a singularly triumphant work of women presented in beautiful formation.”
-- The Los Angeles Times

"Traister brings a welcome balance of critique and personal reflection to a conversation that is often characterize more by moral policing than honest discussion . . . Perhaps one of the most important aspects of [her] narrative is her acknowledgement that the experiences of single women are far from identical . . . An informative and thought-provoking book for anyone--not just the single ladies--who want to gain a greater understanding of this pivotal moment in the history of the United States."
-- New York Times Book Review

“[Traister is] one of the nation’s smartest and most provocative feminist voices.”
-- The Boston Globe

“An invigorating study of single women in America with refreshing insight into the real life of the so-called spinster.”
-- Publishers Weekly

“Traister’s comprehensive volume, sure to be vigorously discussed, is truly impressive in scope and depth while always managing to be eminently readable and thoughtful.”
-- Booklist, starred review

“This fast-paced, fascinating book will draw in fans of feminism, social sciences, and U.S. history.”
-- Library Journal, starred review

"The enormous accomplishment of Traister's book is to show that the ranks of women electing for nontraditional lives...have also improved the lots of women who make traditional choices...This rich portrait of our most quietly explosive social force makes it clear that the ladies still have plenty of work to do."

-- Slate

"Part social and cultural history, part anthropological and journalistic investigation, part memoir, and total investigation into the phenomenon and political power of single womanhood."

-- Flavorwire
