But now that women no longer have to depend on men for financial support, we are enjoying a historically unprecedented luxury: What was once a state defined in the negative—unmarried—now has become a life choice that gives women power: The power to leave a mediocre relationship, to freeze your eggs, to ignore the societal pressure—still very present—to just get married already.

Because what is perhaps most impressive about single women today is their ability to build rich, meaningful lives without any sort of blueprint. It takes courage to stay true to yourself when so many voices are telling you to follow a more conventional path.

It takes mental agility to hold two ideas in your head at once: Yes, I would like to meet someone someday; yes, I am fine right now as I am. Maybe I sound a bit highfalutin.
