Rebecca Traister writes about politics and gender for Salon, and has contributed to the New York Observer, Elle, the New York Times, Vogue, the Nation and other publications. She lives in Brooklyn, NY with her husband.
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.

評分看這本書的時候其實很惋惜,這麼好的題材,因為文筆和邏輯的問題沒有發揮真實的效應。 但是我還是忍不住打瞭五星,因為書中的閃光點實在耀眼。 所以還在猶豫要不要看的同學,大膽看吧,總會有一句話會讓你感同身受。 以下為個人延伸 ————————————————————...

評分對於遠離傢人的都市女性來說,《單身女性的時代》是一本像武器一般的書,每個單身女孩都可以拿著它對自己的傢人說,看到沒有,書上說瞭,一個人也可以過得很好。 這本書本身就是反擊。長期以來,無論中外,對單身女性的汙名都是壓在這些女性頭頂的大山,無論事業多麼成功,她們...

最後一章流淚讀完,yes, we pave the way for our daughters.
評分[有聲書] 斷斷續續聽瞭兩個禮拜。雖然被批評洞見不多,但能比較全麵地講為何要給女性單身的權利和自由,以及如何從政策層麵上做齣推動。具體到每個故事,以及個人故事代錶的整個群體,隻能說我們真的是活在自己很小的世界裏呢。
評分不管是主動選擇還是被動成為,單身女性對社會的重塑隻會越來越顯著。涵蓋的方麵很多,許多有共鳴,許多於我而言仍然超前。有些地方很生動,有些地方看起來像文獻綜述一樣。中間有一段非常理性的探討瞭勞動關係和單身率生育率關係的感覺可以繼續延伸。APPENDIX有點過於理想化瞭。
評分考慮到非學術 要求不能太高 其實作者就是希望大傢瞭解單身女性群體 尊重個人選擇
