Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Living single In a new book, sociologist E. Kay Trimberger says the "new single woman" is successful, social, smart -- and loving life on her own.
  • Living single

    ...just under 54 million women ages 15 and older -- or 45 percent of all women -- are single, up from 38 percent in 1970."

    I don't think of a 15-year-old as a "single woman." Can you even marry without parental permission at that age? Maybe they used the same age range in the 1970 Censusm but it still seems skewed to me.
