Medieval Singlewomen

A medieval singlewoman (also unmarried, unwed, spinster, husbandless, maiden) refers to a woman born between the 5th and 15th Century (c.500 A.D. - 1500) who was never married. This category of singlewomen does not include widows or divorcees, which are terms used to describe women who were married at one point in their lives. During the Middle Ages, lifelong spinsters came from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, though elite women were less likely to be single than peasants or townswomen.
== Definition ==

Before 1800, the term “singlewomen” is defined as women who lived without having married which includes women who would eventually marry in their lifetime and women who never would. The term “life-cycle singlewomen” describes women who were single for the years between childhood and marriage. Women who were single for life fell under the category of lifelong singlewomen.〔
It is important to distinguish singlewomen from virginal nuns, another group of husbandless women. Although unmarried, not all singlewomen were celibate virgins and virginal nuns practiced very different lives than everyday singlewomen.〔 Widows also differed from singlewomen, as they often had greater economic security and occupational opportunity.〔 While widows and singlewomen both lived without a spouse at some point in their lives, their lifestyles were very different and widows were often awarded more freedoms and opportunities.
