Versatile investigation of sexual, economic and emotional lives of women in America, this # 8220; singular triumphant work # 8221; (Los Angeles Times) Rebecca Traister # 8220; most brilliant voice on feminism in the country # 8221; (Anne Lamotte) is # 8220; is sure to be actively discussed # 8221; (Booklist, starred review) .In 2009 the award-winning journalist Rebecca Traister started all single ladies # 8212; book she thought it would be the work of modern journalism # 8212; on the phenomenon of the twenty-first century American women's singles. This was the year, the proportion of American women who were married fell below fifty per cent; and the average age of first marriages that remained from twenty to twenty-two years for almost a century (1890 # 8211; 1980), sharply increased to twenty-seven years. But during her extensive research and more than a hundred interviews with scientists and sociologists and outstanding single women Traister discovered amazing truth: the phenomenon of a woman in America is not new. And historically, when women were given options beyond early heterosexual marriage, the results were massive social change # 8212; temperance, abolition, secondary education, and more. Today, only twenty percent of Americans led by the age of twenty-nine years, compared with nearly sixty percent in 1960, Population Reference Bureau calls it # 8220 ;. Dramatic appeal # 8221; All the Single Ladies a wonderful portrait of contemporary American life and how we got here, through the prism of an American woman. Covering class, race, sexual orientation, and filled with vivid anecdotes from the exciting contemporary and historical figures, all of Single Ladies is destined to become a classic of social history and journalism. Exhaustively researched, brilliantly balanced, and said Traister # 8217; s signature wit and insight, this book should be frozen along with Gail Collins # 8217; s when everything changed.
