'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 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. 'A riveting memoir-cum-cri-de-cur-cum-manifesto for envisioning motherhood anew' Kirsten Swinth, author of FEMINISM'S FORGOTTEN FIGHT
