The word “spinster” has a very complicated historical context. “Spinster” was an occupation that allowed women to be financially independent, and so it was turned into a slur/insult to degrade such independent women. Peak misogyny. Think of today’s “cat lady” 🙃

Thank you for the amazing documentary! I watched the entire presentation from Long Island NY tonight from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcdIROcwmv8&t=450">7:30</a> to 9. These women from the past broke ground for the legions of women that would come after them, and be able to rent, or purchase their own property, cars, and live their lives the way they chose to, regardless of what society dictated how they should live

For years it was assumed that I am gay. At 30 I got married, which lasted about 3 to 4 yéars. His cousins pointed and whispered when we got married, then again when we got divorced.

I don't find your history boring because it is how a lot of people actually lived, which is far more interesting than dates of wars, treaties etc. NY 11:30 PM
