    Throughout All the Single Ladies, Traister follows the lives, friendships, careers, and relationships of several “single ladies” in her social circle and beyond, ranging widely in age and vocation. Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman’s friendship is one those real-life stories that thread through the book, but what makes their tale interesting is that they turned their cross-country connection into a wildly popular podcast.

    “I was a listener and loved it, then I was on it talking about Hillary Clinton and I heard from people across the country, people I don’t hear from when I write a big article,” says Traister. “They’ve begun to take their relationship and help other women give voice and shape to how they feel about the women in their lives, and their social connections to other women. It’s the lord’s work. They’re demonstrating a beautiful, public framework, pragmatically, for how female friendship can be an important core of female adult life.”
