Description
Doing It All: A feminist exploration of single motherhood and a passionate call to reclaim the power of mothering. Ruby Russell challenges the dominant narrative surrounding single mothers, instead telling a story of solidarity and connection that defines motherhood beyond marriage or men.
The book delves into a history of single motherhood, tracing its roots through Victorian brothels, welfare rights activism, and Black feminist traditions of othermothering. Russell shares her own personal quest for empowerment, critiquing the structures that leave single mums marginalised and exhausted.
Doing It All offers a vision of single mothers as avatars of a better world, one where mothering is the life force of sustainable, connected communities. This powerful book encourages dreams of a society where mothering is valued above all else.
