| Introduction | Many a housewife staring at the back of her husband's newspaper, or listening to his breathing in bed is lonelier than any spinster in a rented room. -Greer, Germaine The Female Eunuch,'Love: Security'. ----------- "The spinster of the family should do all the disagreeable things there are to do and walk lonesomely along the path of duty. Her life should be a sort of expiation for her fatal blunder.” "Observations of a Spinster” (anonymous) New York Times, 1903 |
