PRE-ORDER NOW Single Mother by Choice : A Story of Politics and Parenting in Twenty-first Century Middle America by Linda L. Layne
PRE-ORDER NOW - Published: 01/05/2026
Single motherhood, a new family form, demonstrates an accomplishment of paradoxical synergies between 2nd wave feminism and neoliberalism. Single Mother by Choice chronicles the journey of Ann, a 41-year-old woman throughout her intensive mothering of three donor-conceived children from infancy to tween years. The Christian Right's embrace of neoliberalism provided a permission structure for this and other emerging families, while simultaneously influencing progressive parents with trickle down neoliberal values that weaken the moral architecture of childhood and the nation. This fine-grained analysis of one family's life illuminates the complexities of twenty-first century, middle-class American motherhood, whether single or not.Binding: Hardback
