Introduction
Singled Out
1 Where Have All the Young Men Gone?
Two women
The crown and joy
Deeply loved and sadly missed
A world without men
Surplus Two Million
2 ‘A world that doesn’t want me’
The twilight state
Odd women and Ann Veronicas
The spinster problem
Destiny and the devil
The more of us the merrier
3 On the Shelf
Husbands
Mr Wrong
Heart-to-heart chats
A buyers’ market
‘But who will give me my children?’
4 Business Girls
War, work and wives
Palaces of commerce
A rotten hard life
Miss All-Alone in the classroom
Miss All-Alone on the wards
5 Caring, Sharing…
Lonely days
Companions, consolations
Other people’s babies
Lonely nights
The blessed fact of loving
6 A Grand Feeling
A cause, a purpose and a passion
The Well
The urge
Finding happiness as a ‘bach’
Surviving the night
7 The Magnificent Regiment of Women
The challenge of loss
We are not downhearted
A good strong character
Doing things that matter
‘You loved him’
