History of Single Working Women’s Day

Single Working Women’s Day, celebrated on August 4th, is a special day set aside to honor the achievements and contributions of single working women. Barbara Payne, a single working woman herself, founded the day in 2006.

She noticed the absence of a day recognizing the contributions of single women in the workforce and took it upon herself to establish one.

This initiative was rooted in the desire to celebrate single women’s hard work and resilience everywhere and acknowledge their significant role in our communities and economies​​​​.

The idea behind Single Working Women’s Day was influenced by societal perceptions surrounding singleness, especially among women. A notion often referred to as “singlism” suggests that single individuals, particularly women, cannot lead fulfilling lives.

This day challenges such stereotypes by highlighting single women’s independence, social connectivity, and contributions to their professions and communities. It serves as a powerful reminder of their strength and resilience and the diverse challenges they navigate, from work-life balance to overcoming workplace stereotypes and pay disparities​​​​.

The day also aims to address and reduce the stigma associated with being a single working woman. Through celebrating Single Working Women’s Day, society is encouraged to appreciate these women’s significant economic and social contributions.

It promotes empowerment, urging single working women to acknowledge their achievements and their positive impact on society and the economy. Furthermore, it’s a call to action for workplace equality, mentorship, and providing the necessary resources to help single working women excel in their careers​​​​.
