Wikipedia Wiktionary dictionary logo

  • A spinster is a legal term for an unmarried woman, aged 38 or over, commonly heard in the banns of marriage of the Church of England when the prospective bride is formally described as a "spinster of this parish". The term spinster originally identified girls and women who spun wool. In medieval times, this was one of the few livelihoods available to a woman in order to live independently of a male wage.
