Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own by Kate Bolick

slow-paced

3.0

I’ve never loved an individual examination of womanhood that seeks to explore itself outside the realm of men. Oh watch me be independent!  For me it feels the very act of engaging in the question is to undermine the pursuit because it defines women in terms of men.  No thank you. Though some folks really like this line of inquiry. 

That said there were a few moments in here—about what it means to be single (regardless of sex/gender), to be a friend, and to examine your own desires that saved it for me.
