Singled Out
In this book social psychologist and professor Bella DePaulo, Ph.D., exposes a widespread cultural bias against unmarried adults, as seen in everything from missed perks and deeper social and financial prejudices.

DePaulo clearly and compellingly debunks the myths of singledom, using scientific research, examples drawn from popular culture, and healthy amounts of humor. Immensely readable, Singled Out is also carefully and fairly argued. Singled Out is a spirited and provocative read for all people curious as to why singlism is practiced and how it has gone unrecognized and unchallenged for so long.

With or Without a Man
If it weren’t for wanting to be with a man, the single life can be quite satisfying
Research shows what single women already know: They can have a rich and fulfilling life without marriage. In fact, they often are more self-reliant and feel more centered than their married friends since they have had more space to devote to their self-development.

Dr. Karen Gail Lewis, provider of unique women retreats, starts With or Without a Man with the premise that you know how to meet men and what to do on dates. It makes the assumption that you, like most women, are working on your personal growth -- either through having read books, talked with friends, or been in therapy.

With or Without a Man is different from other self-help books in its explanation for why there are so many single women today: More women than men are pursuing their personal growth, so more women than men are ready for a healthy relationship. And, women only want to be with emotionally healthy men.

We live in a society that values marriage as the “norm.” If that value judgment were removed, being married and being single would be two equally viable paths through adulthood. There would be no need for women to blame themselves for being single.
