内容简介 · · · · · ·

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 radica...

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.

原文摘录 · · · · · · ( 全部 )

我已经习惯并喜欢按自己的方式做事。而这些男人只会把一切都搞乱。我知道这话听起来挑剔、琐碎、自恋，连我自己都是这么想。我担心自己变成了一个自私的怪物。但是回想起来，我这么努力地保护我的私人空间、作息时间和独处的自由，也是一种防御手段，为了不让自己发展不是真心想要的关系。也许我对男人们太苛刻了，但同时我也确定自己对他们并不非常感兴趣。 (查看原文)

对于一些女性来说，她们孤独是因为凡事都得依靠自己，或者说，凡事都得依靠自己，加重了她们的孤独。 (查看原文)
