A spinster, or old maid, is an older, childless woman who has never been married. A "spinster" is not simply a "single" woman, but a woman who has not formed a human pair bond by the time she is approaching or has reached menopause and the end of her reproductive lifespan
I fear Sarah-Jane is going to end up a lonely spinster with only a cat by her side for company.

a woman who is not married, especially a woman who is no longer young and seems unlikely ever to marry.

Spinster is an attractive lady who can spin dreams of her own, have the freedom to make them true, and when this happens men often spin around her for marriage proposals. Now it depends entirely on her to accept or reject proposals. Married ladies often envy spinsters.
I am a spinster, I can spin as I like; not a married lady who has marred her life!

A spinster is a single woman who is a complete bad ass and refuses to confirm to the rules of society. She is usually past the age of 32 and has never been married, will never be married and has no children and will not have any children. She a single woman through and through.
