About This Item
New York, NY: W.W. Norton, 1995. First Edition, 3rd Printing . Soft cover. New/None as Issued. BRAND NEW copy. Softcover/Fine. Interviews with single women throughout the United States --- unmarried at forty, never married nor divorced, and, with or without children. Most interviewed did not consciously plan on being single. Indeed, they had accepted the "marriage and mother-hood" lot culture dictated, but Prince Charming either failed to appear and/or they found the demands of marriage unattractive. Note the term "spinster" never evoked similar imagery as its counterpart, "bachelor"; "amazons" is far more appealing. Given a modern landscape littered with connubial fatalities, meanings associated with age-old words ought to be re-examined. "Flying Solo" can be a far more complete & satisfying way of life than imagined. Will a rise in bachelorhood follow and more men fly solo? 309 pgs, 20 chapters in 6 sections: 1, Taking Off: The Dilemma of Automatic Pilot & Excess Baggage; 2, Journeys without a Map; 3, Midlife: Charting a New Course; 4, The Problem of Men; 5, The Question of Children; and 6, Challenges & Triumphs of Flying Solo.
