Does Die Singuläre Frau hold up?

Die Singuläre Frau, by Katja Kullmann (2022)

A history and defence of the woman who lives without a partner, from the working women of 1900 to the present.

The short answer

An essay and a history; it rests on argument rather than on figures that can be checked against a record.

The claims, checked

No claim in this book could be matched to an official record that measures the same thing, so none is given a verdict.
