A profound feminist exploration of single motherhood and a fervent plea 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 portrayed as a victim or welfare queen, sexually irresponsible or overly 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 scathing critique of the structures that marginalize and exhaust single mums—and a call to reclaim mothering as the life force of sustainable, connected, and radically responsible communities.
