On My Own: The Liberation of Living Alone

Author(s): Florence Falk

Being Single

"On My Own" sends the refreshingly positive, and supportive, message that being alone is not a sign of failure but can be an empowering and liberating experience. Society can be cruel in its assessment of a woman alone, regarding her as defective or deserving of pity. Similar pressures cause women to be ashamed of losing the status of mother, wife or girlfriend, and to dread the prospect of 'going it alone'. But, as the author of this inspiring book points out, being on your own can be a vital, intensely creative experience in which you can find your own voice and live a fulfilling life. The case histories and positive view of "On My Own" will resonate with every woman, young and old, since it touches on a sensitive nerve shared by women all over the world.
