A nuanced investigation into the sexual, economic, and emotional lives of women in America. In a provocative, groundbreaking work, National Magazine Award finalist Rebecca Traister, “the most brilliant voice on feminism in the country” (Anne Lamott), traces the history of unmarried and late-married women in America who, through social, political, and economic means, have radically shaped our nation.
In 2009, the award-winning journalist Rebecca Traister started All the Single Ladies—a book she thought would be a work of contemporary journalism—about the twenty-first century phenomenon of the American single woman. It was the year the proportion of American women who were married dropped below fifty percent; and the median age of first marriages, which had remained between twenty and twenty-two years old for nearly a century (1890–1980), had risen dramatically to twenty-seven.
But over the course of her vast research and more than a hundred interviews with academics and social scientists and prominent single women, Traister discovered a startling truth: the phenomenon of the single woman in America is not a new one. And historically, when women were given options beyond early heterosexual marriage, the results were massive social change—temperance, abolition, secondary education, and more.
Today, only twenty percent of Americans are wed by age twenty-nine, compared to nearly sixty percent in 1960. The Population Reference Bureau calls it a “dramatic reversal.” All the Single Ladies is a remarkable portrait of contemporary American life and how we got here, through the lens of the single American woman. Covering class, race, sexual orientation, and filled with vivid anecdotes from fascinating contemporary and historical figures, All the Single Ladies is destined to be a classic work of social history and journalism. Exhaustively researched, brilliantly balanced, and told with Traister’s signature wit and insight, this book should be shelved alongside Gail Collins’s When Everything Changed.

单身女性这一路走来太不易了,虽然书里略有偏颇有点为了观点而硬套用数据,但也真的感慨希望现代女生们能多些选择。

考虑到非学术 要求不能太高 其实作者就是希望大家了解单身女性群体 尊重个人选择

开始听书之后每天上下班的commute hour不再变得难熬,反而让我有所期待。虽然我还挺不爽说到不能妥协生活质量就拿Chinese Takeout来举例……只有自己独立之后才能追求平等,或者为争取别人的平等权利而贡献力量。当下就是要多挣钱啊!

相当全面的介绍。单身女性的存在是社会进步的表现和动力,她们会花更多的时间关心社会议题公共事务(废奴,要选举权之类的),因此不难理解保守分子(既得利益者)的恐惧。

几年前读的中文版,真是有缘,最近读到她的《Good and Mad》。 这本 再读遍以后 今日略看,怎么说问题说的好,想解决那可难。只要有wife和marrige这些存在 以及fq社会啊

what everyone is doing, in one way or another, is working out who they are and where they fit.

虽然有提到贫穷女性的部分,但大部分内容还是从“事业有成的精英女性白领”的视角切入的,作者认为结婚是阻碍女性事业发展的绊脚石,但其实对于绝大多数女性(或者说普通人)来说,根本不存在“事业”这种东西,只有日复一日、摧毁人心的苦劳

Breathless and helpless in desperation. Dauntless and unstoppable in life.
