"Once upon a time the famous writer known as Jane Austen decided not to get married. Not a vital issue in this day and age perhaps, but Austen was one of the finest novelists of the English language and all her heroines end up safely in the arms of a husband by the final chapter. Austen was a highly intelligent woman and she wasn’t bad looking, so why did things turn out so differently in her own life? We know that she received a marriage proposal from a gentleman named Harris Bigg-Wither toward the end of 1802, that she accepted, and that the following morning she told Harris that she had changed her mind."

Spinsters Icons: Jane Austen. Condoleezza Rice.

"The unicorn had lived since before memory in a forest where death could touch nothing. Maidens who caught a glimpse of her glory were blessed by enchantment they would never forget. But outside her wondrous realm, dark whispers and rumors carries a message she could not ignore: "Unicorns are gone from the world." Aided by a bumbling magician and an indominable spinster, she set out to learn the truth."
