Book Description

November 1, 2005

Ever wonder why you're the last single girl among all your married girlfriends? Do you have a gorgeous, talented, witty daughter, sister or best friend who just can't seem to find the perfect mate? Don't stress, you - and that fabulous woman you know - have something in common with 96 million other Americans: You're single!

Let's face it: if you're single, it's because you CHOOSE to be, not because you're DOOMED to be. The Single Girl's Manifesta is glorious vindication for those who are not held captive - literally or figuratively - by the tyranny of the "We."

After author Jerusha Stewart found herself wondering about her own single status, she interviewed hundreds of compatriots across the country about their choice to remain single. Jerusha leaves no stone unturned as she explores the pleasures of single living. You may be the last single girl in your crowd, but you've saved the best for last!

The Single Girl's Manifesta lets readers in on how to:

  • Value being single
  • Not be daunted by dating mishaps
  • Manage life's milestones when you're unmarried
  • Banish the fear of buying a home, dining out, or traipsing 'round the world solo
  • Embrace the inner truths that lead you to finally answer the question "Why am I single?"

This outlandish ode to singles is packed with engaging quizzes, revitalizing rituals, sizzling love letters and a killer recipe for Morning-After French Toast. It's for the woman who has it all, without having to tie the knot. So the next time you and your girlfriends are about to indulge in another "poor, single me" conversation, open this book instead and jumpstart the sensational solo life you deserve!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best guide for single women everywhere, August 1, 2006
This review is from: The Single Girl's Manifesta: Living in a Stupendously Superior Single State of Mind (Paperback)
As a single, black female in my late 20s, I have continually focused on finding someone to have as my own. This book made me realize that person is me. I am SO incredibly happy being single the book made me realize I can have a fulfilling life into my 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond without being tied down to someone. The alternative to being single is not bliss (I've seen way to many messed up relationships to believe that's true). Being single is a blesing and not a curse.

I've read a lot of "you go girl" & "loving the solo life" kind of books, but this one offers practical advice and really struck a cord like others haven't.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time!, September 27, 2007
By 
Mich69 (Brookline, Ma USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Single Girl's Manifesta: Living in a Stupendously Superior Single State of Mind (Paperback)
I thought it was fabulous. How liberating and wonderful to see a book that doesn't focus on how to "get through" being single but rather how to live a wondeful life while you're single, whether it's for a week or for a lifetime. The idea I loved most was the scrapbooking idea, putting together a vision of what your future would/could look like as a single women, putting to rest the fear of sitting all alone in a room full of cats and seeing one's self on adventures and trips and surrounded by family and friends and relationships and love. In the end, we go around once, right? What a waste to spend that time waiting, waiting, instead of creating, creating.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for singles everywhere, November 17, 2005
This review is from: The Single Girl's Manifesta: Living in a Stupendously Superior Single State of Mind (Paperback)
The Single Girl's Manifesta is a fun, intimate, relatable guide to living a successful and fulfilling single life. Stewart not only shares her own personal life experiences with `singlehood,' but also includes a variety of perspectives and accounts of singles from all walks of life-ages, cultures, geographical locations. The book not only inspires women (and men) everywhere to embrace the single life with honor, but to also enjoy it. It's about being alone and loving who you are with and understanding that singlehood, just as marriage, is a choice. It challenges readers to weigh all their options rather than simply jumping on the matrimony bandwagon. Stewart did an excellent job of revealing the power and strength that comes with being single and encourages singles everywhere to live `stupendously.'
