Single Mothers by Choice?

In: Families in society: the journal of contemporary human services, Band 76, Heft 9, S. 543-550

Abstract

The authors conducted exploratory interviews with eight older single mothers. Results suggested that current media representations of "single mothers by choice" may oversimplify the experiences of many women by ignoring the context of gender relations within which both women and men's decisions regarding contraception, pregnancy, and parenthood "produce" single motherhood.
