A feminist exploration of single motherhood and a passionate call to reclaim the power of mothering.
'A brilliant book, fearlessly told.' Elinor Cleghorn, author of UNWELL WOMEN
''Lucid and liberating.' Eliane Glaser, author of MOTHERHOOD: A MANIFESTO
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 single mothering, 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 marginalized and exhausted - and a call to reclaim mothering as the life force of sustainable, connected and radically responsible communities.
