Singles-Myth-Buster dePaulo uses humor to raise awareness
We love what Bella DePaulo is doing to fight the stereotypes assigned to single people, especially women. We've reviewed her book here and interviewed her for the SWWAN Dive radio show. Her scientific research is invaluable to the cause of SWWAN.
Now you have a chance to tune in to her Psychology Today blog and help her create a new way to help society recognize and get past its hangups about single women. Check it out and see if you can think of some entertaining questions for her new idea: The New SAT - Singles Aptitude Test

This is an important book! In fact, the subject of living married yet single or living single and loving it is so critcal today, we just published a book about it ourselves, by Brenda Frantz, titled Marrisingle: Growing from Chaos. Brenda is a certified hypnotherapist and relationships counselor who married a man who chose a military career. Brenda's story is a roller coaster ride that includes divorce and re-marriage to her same military husband! She's created a new title for herself and other women who choose the same type of relationship: "Marrisingle."

A cool title, but kind of off for SWWAN. The thing for single women is that THEY'RE SINGLE. Being married, even if you never see your husband, confers a different status on you in our society.
And that's what SWWAN is all about--helping society appreciate the gifts and the energies of single working women. Married women--no matter how alone--already have their place.
