Preview Unfortunate Objects: Lone Mothers in the Eighteenth Century
Description:
This book analyzes how poor eighteenth-century London women coped when they found themselves pregnant--their survival networks and the consequences of bearing an illegitimate child. It suggests that unmarried mothers did not constitute a deviant minority within London's plebeian community. In fact, many could expect to find compassion rather than ostracism a response to their plight.
