Doing It All Hardback
by RUBY RUSSELL
Hardback
Description
A feminist exploration of single motherhood and a passionate call to reclaim the power of mothering. Nearly a quarter of UK families with dependent children are single-parent families, and around 90% of single parents are women.
Yet the single mother is still cast as victim or welfare queen, sexually irresponsible or too independent by half. Tracing a history through Victorian brothels, welfare rights activism and Black feminist traditions of othermothering, Ruby Russell tells a different story: of motherhood defined not by marriage or men, but as a nexus of solidarity beyond the patriarchal status quo.
A personal quest for empowerment, Doing It All is also a fierce critique of the structures that leave single mums marginalised and exhausted - and a call to reclaim mothering as the life force of sustainable, connected and radically responsible communities.
