DESCRIPTION:

Single Working Women's Day and Single Working Women's Week honor women who work, bringing home their bacon without support. Often single women face casual discrimination such as being judged on their looks, their age, and statements like:

"She doesn't have a family to support; therefore, she doesn't need __________ like so and so."
"She will get married, so there is no need to promote her."
"She's in one of her moods today. Probably that time of the month."

Discrimination includes actions like the sales team going to a strip club, playing golf when she doesn't, or using references to sports or sex that exclude or shame her in team building.

Barbara Payne realized that there is no celebration to commemorate working single women. She created this day to provide support, advice, and encouragement for single women in the workplace.

Fifty-one percent of women in the United States are single. Working is a challenge for anyone; however, women who work and are part of a recognized couple tend to benefit more than their single counterparts in many ways. These include lower taxes, taking advantage of bulk pricing, better restaurant seating, support after a rough day, and someone to share child-rearing. Then there are the everyday tasks like running to the dry cleaner and picking up milk after work. When you're single, you do it all. And if you lose your job, no one can help with the expenses until you get a new one.

Of course, being a single working woman also has advantages (if you don't have children). You keep your paycheck. Networking is much easier if you don't have to be home after work and your time is your own. You do what you want. Everything has its perks. Still, anyone who has been a single working woman will tell you that it's demanding but rewarding.

This week is a time to applaud your single female friends born without trust funds and show how much you appreciate them. Send a card, give a gift, buy a drink, or write a blog post. Mani/Pedi, anyone? Just don't forget to include yourself.
