Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Today, the majority of the world's population lives in a country with falling marriage rates, a phenomenon with profound impacts on women, gender, and sexuality. In this exceptionally crafted ethnography, Sarah Lamb probes the gendered trend of single women living in India, examining what makes living outside marriage for women increasingly possible and yet incredibly challenging. Featuring the stories of never-married women as young as 35 and as old as 92, the book offers a remarkable portrait of a way of life experienced by women across class and caste divides, from urban professionals and rural day laborers, to those who identify as heterosexual and lesbian, to others who evaded marriage both by choice and by circumstance. For women in India, complex social-cultural and political-economic contexts are foundational to their lives and decisions, and evading marriage is often an unintended consequence of other pressing life priorities. Arguing that never-married women are able to illuminate their society's broader social-cultural values, Lamb offers a new and startling look at prevailing systems of gender, sexuality, kinship, freedom, and social belonging in India today.

Book excerpt: Single, less stressed, and free If you’re tired of swiping through dating apps, ghosting, and hearing well-meaning questions about why you’re still single, it’s hard not to feel “less-than” because you haven’t found your soul mate. Until now. How to Be Single and Happy is an empowering, compassionate guide to stop overanalyzing romantic encounters, get over regrets or guilt about past relationships, and identify what you want and need in a partner. But this isn’t just another dating book. Drawing on her extensive expertise as a clinical psychologist, as well as the latest research, hundreds of patient interviews, and key principles in positive psychology, Dr. Jennifer Taitz challenges the most common myths about women and love (like the advice to play hard to get). And while she teaches how to skillfully date, she’ll also help you cultivate the mindset, values, and connections that ensure you’ll live your best, happiest life, whether single or coupled up.

Download or read book Happily Never Married written by Kendra L Harris and published by Happily Never Married LLC. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Happily Never Married addresses a broad spectrum of issues related to being happy as a single person. It is a voice for individuals who through choice, chance, or a combination of the two, have remained or become single. The "happiness" factor is revealed in part by objectively describing experiences and observations regarding relationship dynamics. The book builds upon those scenarios to spread a message of love of self, and empowerment, which lead to happiness. The motivation for writing the book was derived from a study that concluded that never-married females, over age 50, are the happiest group of individuals in American society, second only to happily married individuals. The precursor to the book, the "Happily Never Married" blog, revealed that although the subject was originally directed at these older women, the book has tremendous appeal for a broad audience that is not limited by gender, marital status, culture, or age. Furthermore, because the "singles" population is now over half of the US population, the subject is extremely timely. There are forty five essays in the book which is divided into seven sections. Essay topics include: companionship, online dating, surviving break-up heartache, children and relationships, cougars, and holiday issues. The book does not have to be read sequentially. Thus a reader can choose a topic, read it, and skip around in the book to another topic.
