More than ever, women in their twenties and thirties live alone, are discarded by boyfriends after “living together,” and are watching their biological clocks tick past the point of no return.

Something else she never told you: Some of us are doing all of this with a smile of joy on our faces.

I'm disappointed that there were no links with Emmy watch and post. I wanna see best and worst dressed!

I did mine independent study. Well, I watched Kay Howard a lot. Perfect clearance rate, great hair, and some cute boyfriends...what else does one want from her feminist icons?

How to make a fort
