Shiny Happy Singles

Being single and childfree isn't a consolation prize - it's a choice, a joy, and a life worth celebrating.

Unmarried, childfree women are statistically the happiest demographic in society. So why does being single still come with such stigma? With 1 in 5 adults choosing to be childfree, Lucy Meggeson believes it's time to level the playing field and ask the very important question: what the hell is going on?
