Abstract
The purpose of this research was to identify current messages about single women in self-help literature. Feminist and social constructionist theoretical perspectives guided the study and a constant comparison analysis was conducted to identify the dominant themes about single women in the literature. Six overarching themes emerged: Singlehood as a Positive Aspect of Life, Stereotypes of Single Women, Media's Depictions of Single Women, Difficulties being Single, Perceived Reasons for Singlehood, and Commentary on Singlehood and Aloneness. These themes were organized into a total of 33 sub-themes. A discussion of the meanings and implications of these results for professionals is presented.
