Summary

'Doing It All' explores what it means to be a single mother. Scorned as victims, outcasts and sinners, the very existence of lone mothers has long been a 'problem' that skewers the heart of prevailing systems of morality, oppression and power. This book combines personal essay with interviews and historical research to reveal the shrouded history and present-day struggles of women who raise their children outside marriage, on the fringes of society, and in communities that challenge the very definition of family.
