| Abstract | The space of the single female has not traditionally held the glamorous appeal of the single male. Historically all of the reasons to celebrate the male single space are inverted to commiserations for the female counterpart. Instead of a heritage of exciting bachelor pads there are spinsters to be pitied. Shows like Sex and the City and Girls and Fleabag have done much to redress the balance providing fun, frivolous single homes. However, Bridget Jones preceded these and sets the tone for single women occupying the space between family home and marital home, opening up other possibilities outside of those governed by conventional restrictions. |
