When she was just 12, Clara Meadmore decided she would never marry. Growing up in a time when societal pressures on women were intense, Clara’s choice was unusual. After that, she explained her reasoning, saying, “I made my mind up at the age of 12 never to marry, and I’ve not gone back on that.” Clara’s youth coincided with a period where sexual relations were often limited to marriage, a norm she never felt inclined to follow.

Relationships and intimacy, to Clara, seemed burdensome. She remarked that seemed like “ a lot of hassle”, and that she’s always been busy doing other things. This straightforward attitude defined her approach to life. Clara found joy in her career as a secretary and later in hobbies like reading, gardening, and walking. “I’ve always had lots of platonic friendships with men but never felt the need to go further than that or marry,” she shared.
