National Old Maids Day
Every year, National Old Maid's Day honors the women who never marry and remain childless. Although the term doesn't seem to be flattering, less common terms such as spinster have been used to describe single, childless women for centuries.

The national old maid's day is the oldest maid's day in the United States
Marion Richards of Jeffersonville, Pa., held the first Old Maid's Day gathering in 1948. "Guests ranged from 75 years old down to an age when hope still flickered," Asbury Park Press writer June 4, 1982. Richard created the day to honor all of the contributions Old Maids make to their families and their families. Single women played a significant part in many aspects of education, churches, government, and families during Richard's time.
