Overview
A feminist exploration of single motherhood and a passionate call to reclaim the power of motheringĀ
In the United States, one child in five is raised by a single mother.āÆYet the single mom is still cast as victim or welfare queen, sexually irresponsible or too independent for her own (or her childrenās) good.āÆāÆāÆĀ
In Doing It All,journalist and single mother Ruby Russell tells a different story, of single mothering not defined by loss but whole and powerful in its own right.āÆShe finds narratives of liberation in Victorian brothels and postwar British slums, in Black feminist theory and the grassroots activism of women fighting for welfare rights.
Doing It All is a personal quest for empowerment, a fierce critique of the systems that leave single moms marginalized and exhausted, and a call to reclaim mothering as the life force of sustainable, connected, and radically responsible communities.āÆāÆĀ
