All the Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an Independent Nation

All the Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an Independent Nation - Rebecca Traister I expected a history of the single women that shaped America. Rebecca Traister's book is more than that. Highly researched, with many examples, witty personal anecdotes and a fairly number of articles and studies in the topic of women singlehood, this book is a must for any feminist of passionate about sociology for that matter. I liked how she cited various big magazines around the country without sounding judgemental.
