Analysing American Advice Books For Single Mothers Raising Sons: Essentialism, Culture And Guilt

This intersectional study analyses the normative pressures placed on single mothers raising sons in contemporary parenting literature and how traditional ideas of masculinity and femininity are used to undermine the mothers. The study further connects the advice books to a cultural backlash against ideas of 'involved fatherhood' and 'caring masculinity'.
