What does a 40-year old single woman really want?

An interesting excerpt from Marry Him! by Lori Gottlieb, accessible here:

Of course we'd be loath to admit it in this day and age, but ask any soul-baring 40-year-old single heterosexual woman what she most longs for in life and she probably won't tell you it's a better career or a smaller waistline or a bigger apartment. Most likely, she'll say what she really wants is a husband – and, by extension, a child.”
