We're taking back the word Spinster. But why do we even have to take it back? What happened along the way to turn a neutral word that described a woman's occupation into a way to minimize a woman's choice not to get married? On this episode, we examine the lives of the many, many women single, working women who have come before us. We're going back in time to tell the story of the OG Spinsters.

Amie and Eva also learn about some other words that used to be deployed at unmarried women. Is Spinster really the best we can do? They also display their complete lack of knowledge of history, fight the patriarchy, and of course, play a round of "Why Aren't You Married?"
