“Get Lit After Work” with Kate Bolick

Boston Literary District launches “Get Lit After Work,” our pop-up literary biergarten in front of the Cheers bar in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace with Kate Bolick, author of the New York Times bestseller, SPINSTER: MAKING A LIFE OF ONE’S OWN.

“Whom to marry, and when will it happen—these two questions define every woman’s existence.” So begins Spinster, a revelatory and slyly erudite look at the pleasures and possibilities of remaining single. Using her own experiences as a starting point, journalist and cultural critic Kate Bolick invites us into her carefully considered, passionately lived life, weaving together the past and present to examine why­ she—along with over 100 million American women, whose ranks keep growing—remains unmarried.

“What’s surprising about Spinster is how… the book sets forth a clear vision not just for single women, but for all women: to disregard the reigning views of how women should live, to know their own hearts and to carve out a little space for their dreams.” —New York Times Book Review

This talk is free and open to the public and will be followed by a book signing.
