ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with the homemaking of most of the singletons was limited due to lack of financial freedom, which in turn caused them to live in circumstances where physical space was at a premium. It examines the situation of the single agents and the adjustments they made in relation to sharing or letting spaces over which they had restricted control. For example, opportunities in the compromised areas and, as Marcus have argued, fluid spaces' for individual contribution; and could the requirements of the discrete household security, privacy and choice be negotiated through the reduced means of the single room. The experience of Sarah Jackson is echoed in a host of unmarried women who died in formal and informal service or occasionally at the house of family or near kin. The spaces between separate households, the landings, passageways and shared facilities, were also fraught with potential moral and physical danger.
