Hi.
Welcome to The Modern Spinster, vignettes about what life is like outside the lines as a never-married woman with no-children living in a pro-natal culture.
Welcome to The Modern Spinster, vignettes about what life is like outside the lines as a never-married woman with no-children living in a pro-natal culture.
My name is Carla Maria Lucchetta, and I’m a writer, editor, and television producer based in Toronto, Canada. (But tbh, my heart and soul live in my second home, Vancouver, where I escape to as often as possible, and who can blame me?)
Oh, and that my trusty companion, Quince.
I didn’t set out to be “forever alone,” I mean who does? In any case, I’m a not-yet-married and have brought forth zero kids. Since this is the unique lens through which I view and experience the world, a pal of mine suggested I write under the moniker of The Modern Spinster. Should I even use this outdated word to describe myself? Well, here’s how I see it: despite the fact that at least half the population of my country lives alone, the world still views married with children the the norm. I’ve focused plenty of work on trying to get people to understand that this is a viable, fulfilling life - once you get square with it. And, here I’ll continue that effort.
