Single Parenting Over half of adult women are not married in the U.S, and there are more single households than married. We're a growing demographic!

The trend of singledom is due in part to our living longer, marrying later, or choosing to live solo. In fact, Solo Lady's motto could be: "I'd much rather be on my own ... than wish I were!" Whether never-married, separated, divorced or widowed, newly solo or always solo, young or old, straight or gay; whether or not you're a mom, dating, or in a relationship, whether you live alone or with others -- single women everywhere, you've found your home.

Solo Lady is fresh, informative, interesting and interested (like you!). We're the premier, go-to, on-target Website for contemporary single women around the world, 24/7/365.
