Thirty women,from Megan Barton-Hanson and Shaparak Khorsandi to Shon Faye and Stephanie Yeboah write on what single womanhood in the modern age means to them.
Have you ever worried about going on holiday alone Felt queasy at the thought of Valentine's Day without a date Thought to yourself,'I want what she has'This book is the tonic you need.
Curated by journalist and author Angelica Malin,Unattached explores the nuances of being single today through the voices of thirty women; with personal essays reflecting both the unique challenges (hello,going to a wedding alone),and the glorious benefits (goodbye,joint bank account).
Unattached shines a light on brilliant women stepping into their power,owning being alone,and reveals the true depth of female potential when we choose to go against what society expects of us and revel in our own strength.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Malin has assembled an admirable and diverse roster of voices... fascinatingUnattached sees some of the UK's best writers politely asking societal norms to move down the bench while celebrating and honouring oneself(Unattached) is an ode to the single positivity movement... The book celebrates shedding the weight of traditional labels and reclaiming the power of female solitudeInspired(Unattached) calls to broaden the definition of romance,to quit thinking of single life as mere prologue and to wonder whether the reason we're taught to fear going solo might perhaps be that it makes us so very powerful
