In Mothering by Degrees, Jillian Duquaine-Watson shows how single
mothers pursuing college degrees must navigate a difficult course
as they attempt to reconcile their identities as single moms,
college students, and in many cases, employees. They also negotiate
a balance between what they think a good mother should be, and what
society is telling them, and how that affects their choices to go
to college, and whether to stay in college or not. The first book
length study to focus on the lives and experiences of single
mothers who are college students, Mothering by Degrees points out
how these women are influenced by dominant American ideologies of
motherhood, and the institutional parameters of the schools they
attend, and argues for increased attention to the specific ways in
which the choices, challenges, and opportunities available to
mothers are shaped within their specific environments, as well as
the ways in which mothers help shape those environments.
