Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own

In her 2015 New York Times Bestselling book, Bolick asks and answers a question that plagues modern women: "How does a woman move through life alone?" Spinster dives into the possibilities and pleasures of single life. Using her own life as a starting point, Kate Bolick invites readers into her carefully considered, passionately lived life to understand why she are still unmarried.
Spinster "actually offers is an idiosyncratic journey through Bolick’s decades-long exploration of how to live independently, with cues from an assortment of nontraditional women."
