Are lone mothers 'going it alone' in late modernity? In this
fascinating work, Martina Klett-Davies examines how women negotiate
lone motherhood in Britain and Germany. She draws on interviews
with 70 unmarried lone mothers living on state benefits in inner
city areas to examine the complexity and diversity of their lives,
the ways in which they try to manage choices and constraints, and
how they position themselves as carers, dependants or as paid
workers. Going it Alone? assesses the extent to which
individualization can explain the experience of state-dependent
lone mothers, further develops the concept and provides a better
understanding of lone mothers. Suggestions with regard to paid
employment, education and state benefits are provided as well as
policy recommendations for increasing the options available to lone
mothers.
