From the obsessive 'bunny boiler' of Fatal Attraction to the tabloid frenzy over Taylor Swift’s 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’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough her analysis of books, movies, and TV shows, she reveals how these narratives reflect deeper anxieties about women’s 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.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Caroline Young\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eCaroline\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eYoung\u003c\/span\u003e is an Edinburgh author specialising in film, fashion and pop culture.
