Don't stress, you - and that fabulous woman you know - have something in common with 96 million other Americans: You're single!

It's for the woman who has it all, without having to tie the knot.

Book excerpt: The twentieth anniversary release of a groundbreaking feminist text: a powerful indictment of the current state of feminism, and a passionate call to arms Today, people of all genders strive to uphold the goals of feminism and proudly embrace the term, but the movement itself is often beset with confusion and questions. Does personal empowerment happen at the expense of politics? Is feminism for the few—or does it speak to the many as they bump up against daily injustices? What does it mean to say "the future is female"? In 2000, Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards’s Manifesta set out to chronicle the feminism of their generation. They brilliantly revealed the snags in various hubs of the movement—from antipathy to the term itself to the hyped hatred of feminism’s imperfect spokespeople—and showed that these snags had not imperiled the feminist cause. The book went on to inspire a new generation of readers and has become a classic of contemporary feminist literature. In the decades since Manifesta was published, the world has changed in ways both promising and terrifying. This twentieth anniversary edition of Manifesta features an updated bibliography, timeline, and resources, as well as a new introduction by the authors. Expertly unpacking both early women’s history and the Third Wave feminism that seeded the active righteous intersectionality we see today, Manifesta remains an urgent and necessary tool to make sense of our past, present, and future.

Book excerpt: In this witty, engaging guide, a renowned Vogue editor takes readers through the fundamentals of living alone by showing them how to create a welcoming environment and cultivate home-friendly hobbies, "for no woman can accept an invitation every night without coming to grief." "Whether you view your one-woman ménage as Doom or Adventure, you need a plan, if you are going to make the best of it." Thus begins Marjorie Hillis' archly funny, gently prescriptive manifesto for single women. Though it was 1936 when the Vogue editor first shared her wisdom with her fellow singletons, the tome has been passed lovingly through the generations, and is even more apt today than when it was first published. Hillis, a true bon vivant, was sick and tired of hearing single women carping about their living arrangements and lonely lives; this book is her invaluable wake-up call for single women to take control and enjoy their circumstances. With engaging chapter titles like "A Lady and Her Liquor" and "The Pleasures of a Single Bed," along with a new preface by author Laurie Graff (You Have to Kiss A Lot of Frogs), Live Alone and Like It is sure to appeal to live-aloners—and those considering taking the plunge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Table for one: A critical reading of singlehood, gender and time is the first book to consider the profound relationship between singlehood and time. Drawing on a wide range of cultural resources - including web columns, blogs, advice columns, popular clichés, advertisements and references from television and cinema, the author challenges the conventional meaning-making processes of singlehood and time. Lahad's analysis gives us the opportunity to explore and theorize singlehood through varied temporal concepts such as waiting, wasting, timeout, age, the life course, linearity and commodification of time. This unique analytical approach enables the fresh consideration of some of our dominant perceptions about collective clocks, schedules, time tables and the temporal organization of social life in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hi Singles! Many have sought it. Men have planned for it. Women dress for it. It is the promise of a great date! I know that dating over 40 can sometimes feel as deserted as Death Valley in summer time or like a unpredictable minefield of disastrous dates. But, you don’t have to be disheartened. I wrote my ebook to show you how to shift your attitude, appearance and approach to the opposite sex, so you always get the best results possible from your dating life. It’s easy to be confused about dating over 40. When you were 20 maybe you were busy having fun and developing your career and thought you’d be married by 30. And when you were 30, perhaps you thought 40 would be your time to settle down and find your perfect companion. But here you are, 40+, and you’re still single. Maybe you think your chances for finding fulfillment through dating are gone...but they’re not! Now that I’m over 40, I’ve learned something interesting: Dating over 40 isn’t all that different from dating under 40. Really! A lot of people who are over 40 want to get back into dating, but they are nervous. I was too, but you don’t have to be. I can help you get back in the saddle. Many people don’t really know where to meet people and find dates. I didn’t either, but now I do, even places to meet specific types of people. I can help you find the best places to meet people you’d actually like to date! Lots of folks are so disheartened and frustrated with their dating experiences that they are ready to call it quits. I know dating can be frustrating, but I can help you keep a positive attitude about dating so you can enjoy yourself instead of seeing it as a chore. Maybe your first date after reading this book won’t be perfect. Your second might not be either. But this book isn’t about finding the perfect date; it’s about making all aspects of your dating life better. I can’t promise you you’ll find Mr. or Mrs. Right by reading this book (I’m still looking!), but I can tell you that you can be more confident, more comfortable, a better conversationalist, and more adventurous if you take the advice in this book to heart. And, most importantly, you can have more fun! I hope my book helps you become a happier and more successful participant in the over 40 dating scene. Make it a great date! - Jerusha Stewart WHAT'S IN THE BOOK * The 5 Best Places to Meet Eligible Men * Easy Tips to Look 10 Years Younger and Hotter * 10 Do's and Dont's for the First Date * Secrets to Successful Online Dating (and Keeping Your Privacy) * How To Having Amazing Sex in Your 40s and 50s
