What is 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.

However, the observance honors Old Maids from around the world and their contributions to their families and communities. Although they are single, it does not mean they are lonely. Old Maids are often career-oriented, postponing marriage, and motherhood by choice or circumstance. Old Maids are hardly wallflowers waiting to dance, from a vibrant social life to a dedication to volunteerism, church, and their extended family.
These women are also dedicated to their extended families, beyond being active in their families. They may plan family reunions or be the keeper of family history. These women are the glue that keeps families, communities, and organizations running smoothly. These women are the glue that keeps families, communities, and organizations running smoothly.
