NY Times writes about Unmarried and Single Americans Week
The New York Times has a story by Tara Parker-Pope, “In a married world, singles struggle for attention.”
Bella DePaulo’s new book, Singlism, is mentioned. I am one of over two dozen contributors to the book. Bella blogged about the NY Times article.
Happy Unmarried and Single Americans Week!

Gifts for Unmarried & Single Americans Week
Last week we discovered that it’s not easy to send an e-card for USA Week. How about sending a gift? Today I received a sweet gift from Ellen Kaye in the form of a fresh list of unmarried songs to add to our collection.
Today I also added a gift to my wish list: the new book Changing Poverty, Changing Policies, featuring an essay by Cancian and Reed which finds that
the economic benefit of marriage isn’t what it used to be … because single women, even those with kids, have an easier time supporting themselves outside of marriage than they used to. [And ] that replicating marriage wouldn’t necessarily generate more per-person wealth.
Thanks to Jessica the intern for finding the Time Magazine article about this new book. I look forward to incorporating more of its findings into our campaign to get marriage programs out of the federal anti-poverty budget.

Our very own Hallmark moment?
Unmarried and Single Americans Week starts Sunday!
Thanks to April for pointing out that Hallmark is missing out on a hundred-million strong market for e-cards. It takes a few moments, but you can register your request for an e-card here.
