A Woman on Her Own Item Info

Title:
A Woman on Her Own
Description:
Nominated for the "Readeasy" award, "A Woman on Her Own" by Margaret Fulcher recounts the loneliness and isolation she experienced as a single mother, as well as the role of community, Night School, and the Gingerbread group (a group for single mothers) in changing her life for the better. Accompanied by illustrations and photographs, the text in this work details Fulcher's work at a pub, the amount of time she spends cleaning both at home and at work, the shame she has experienced due to her lack of literacy, and the physical and emotional trauma from being hit by a car while playing outside with a ball as a nine-year-old child.
