What are the everyday life strategies of single mothers that help to effectively
cope with daily hardships? What modes of resistance are employed,
articulated or imagined by single mothers as they navigate their daily
routines?
This is the premise of the study that offers an in-depth ethnographic study
of well-educated single mothers in Kaunas, Lithuania - a post-socialist
semi-periphery marked by structural precarity. Through feminist activist
ethnography, this thesis examines how single mothers develop material,
emotional, and social strategies to survive and care within conditions
shaped by neoliberalism, insufficient welfare systems, and societal stigma.
The concept of care is placed at the centre of this dissertation, highlighting
care labour as often unpaid and invisibilized, yet - central to single mothers'
lives, constituting both a burden and a potential site of resistance. This thesis
also examines how normative ideals of family, motherhood, and success
intersect with class, gender, and labour to shape women's lived experiences.
