3. 40-Something Women - Never Married

Women who are 40-something and never married are becoming a larger and larger group in the United States in the 21st century, and in the program host Esther Mills speaks with three of them: Tara King, Ann-Karen Fareth, and Amy Coskey. As part of the discussion Esther refers to an article, "The Secret Lives of Single Women," by writer Sarah Mahoney, that explores the myths and facts of older single women; she also looks at points from another article, "The Quagmire of Older Women," by author Bernard Chapin. 2010 CA 50 min.
