Discussion: another time. 330 $a"What are you waiting for?" "Stop wasting your time!" "You will die alone." These are some of the questions and warnings that single women hear on an everyday basis. Single women are constantly being asked whether they are still single or will married next or soon. "Still", "ever-after", "waste of time"; all these form part of the rich language of time. This book argues that time plays a crucial rule in the discursive formation of female singlehood and that our common understanding of singlehood is dominated by underlying temporal models, premises and concepts. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach and integrating different theoretical realms and perspectives, this book paves way for a new theorization of singlehood and time. 606 $aTime$xSocial aspects 606 $aSingle women$zIsrael$xSocial conditions 606 $aSingle women$xSocial conditions 610 $aSociology 610 $aGender 610 $awomen 610 $asociology 610 $afamily 610 $arelationships 610 $amarriage 610 $aparenting 610 $asingle parenting 610 $aBachelorette 610 $aHeteronormativity 610 $aSocial norm 615 0$aTime$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSingle women$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSingle women$xSocial conditions. 676 $a306.8153 700 $aLahad$b Kinneret$0992270 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219862303321 996 $aA Table for One$92272062 997 $aUNINA
