single ladies
Women without partners
Single ladies are unmarried women, typically understood as available for romantic partnership.
The phrase gained cultural prominence from Beyoncé's 2008 song celebrating female independence after a breakup: All the single ladies, put your hands up.
The term emphasizes agency and self-sufficiency rather than simply lacking a partner.
