①Feminist?scholars have tended to regard women in the nineteenth-century United States who elected to remain single as champions of women’s autonomy and as critics of marriage as an oppressive?institution.?②Indeed, many nineteenth-century American women who participated in reform movements or who distinguished themselves as writers and professionals were single.?③Yet this view of single women tends to distort the meaning of their choices.?④The nineteenth century saw the elevation of marriage for love as a spiritual ideal.?⑤Consequently, it became socially acceptable for women not to marry if such an ideal marriage could not be realized with an available suitor.?⑥Thus, many women’s choice to remain single reflected not a negative view of marriage but a highly idealistic one.
