AboutSingle & PsychoA lively, sharp and thought-provoking exploration of the enduring stereotype of the dangerous single woman in popular culture. From the obsessive ‘bunny boiler’ of Fatal Attraction to the tabloid frenzy over Taylor Swifts relationship status, Caroline Young explores how single women have so often been portrayed as unstable, dangerous, or incomplete. Blending cultural criticism with her own personal experience, Young examines how these stereotypes have been shaped by broader social trends, including the antifeminist backlash of the 1980s and the current renaissance of the trad-wife.
Through her analysis of books, movies, and TV shows, she reveals how these narratives reflect deeper anxieties about womens independence. Engaging, witty, fun and feminist, Single and Psycho is a timely critique of how society views single women and a celebration of their complexity and resilience.
