Book excerpt: Ruth is a twenty-eight-year-old schoolteacher in rural Mississippi in 1962. She is the daughter of a prominent Methodist minister and there are expectations for her life. When she finds herself pregnant and unwed, she did what many others did in those days: she disappears. Leaving her three-year old daughter with her parents, Ruth leaves for New Orleans under the cover of attending graduate school. She works in a piano bar, accepts the benevolence of the local church ministry for unwed mothers, and carries the baby to term. Upon his birth, she gives up her son for adoption at the church's orphanage and returns to Mississippi to resume her life. But the child she left behind remains in her heart for the next 35 years until she can no longer hide her secret or her anguish. The decision to find her son may rupture two worlds. Unwed is the story of a mother's journey. Ruth is a courageous woman who does the "right" thing by the standards of her day. Unwed tells a tale of rejection, adoption, and the pursuit of closure and redemption.

Book Synopsis Single Mothers and Their Children by : Shurlee Swain
Download or read book Single Mothers and Their Children written by Shurlee Swain and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-12-11 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1996 book is a comprehensive history of single motherhood in Australia. Shurlee Swain and Renate Howe tell the powerful, if painful and often moving, story of these women and their children and the lives they constructed. Starting in the 1850s when abandonment and infanticide were not uncommon, the book's main focus ends in 1975 when the legal status of illegitimacy was abolished. The book covers issues of baby farming, infanticide, abortion, sex education, birth control, adoption and marriage, in effect becoming a history of sexual practice in Australia. While tracing profound changes from a time when single mothers were locked in gaol for discarding their babies to the establishment of state benefits, the authors find a good deal of continuity over the period. This book makes an important contribution to social, welfare and women's history in Australia.

Book Synopsis Single Mothers and the State’s Embrace by : Harriet M. Phinney
Download or read book Single Mothers and the State’s Embrace written by Harriet M. Phinney and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1980s, after the Indochina Wars, a shortage of men meant that many single women in Vietnam found themselves without suitable marital prospects. A number of these women chose to pursue single motherhood by “asking for a child” (xin con)—asking men to get them pregnant out of wedlock. Xin con appeared to be a radical departure from traditional Vietnamese kinship values and practices, which were based in Confucian patriarchal and patrilineal reproductive interests. However, this innovative solution was rooted in both pre- and postwar values, practices, and notions of gender, kinship, love, and sexuality. This ethnography explores the practice of xin con among single mothers in the postwar era and today, and considers the ways their reproductive agency was embraced rather than rejected by the Vietnamese state as it entered the global market economy. Rather than condemning or trying to restrict older single women’s reproductive agency, government officials enacted policies that would accommodate both the women and the state—a strategy that represents an intriguing alignment of Confucian heritage, Communist ideology, and governing tactics and demonstrates the social power of women.
