DIANE KEATON

There are so many films: Baby Boom, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, The First Wives Club, Annie Hall, Something’s Got to Give. In these movies, her character is single. She’s not married. She’s interesting, flirty, alive. And in every story, she challenges romance — and the narrative around it. In her life, she challenged it too.

Should Women Stay Single?

Should women stay single? Research suggests yes. Single women live longer, report greater happiness, and enjoy more autonomy than married women, who still juggle wage gaps, housework, and the emotional labor of men unprepared for partnership. A Yale study and global data confirm the trend: women are delaying or rejecting marriage in favor of independence, education, and financial stability. With half of marriages ending in divorce and women filing most often, the benefits of singlehood are clear. What was once stigma is now empowerment—and for many, staying single is not just freedom but the smarter, healthier choice.
