Bio
<B>Catherinette</B> was a traditional French label for girls twenty-five years old who were still unmarried by the Feast of Saint Catherine (25th November). A special celebration was offered to them on this day, while everyone wished them a fast end to their singlehood.
<B>Singelton:</B> In the wake of the popularity of the novel and movie Bridget Jones's Diary, the word has also become popular as a (self-)description of individuals without romantic partners, particularly applied to women in their thirties. There is an undertone to this use of ignoring societal pressures towards marriage and motherhood.
