![]() ![]() Among the daily struggles to get by and get ahead, single motherhood, Utrata finds, is seldom considered a tragedy. ![]() While most Russians, including single mothers, believe that two-parent families are preferable, many also contend that single motherhood is an inevitable by-product of two intractable problems: "weak men" (reflected, they argue, in the country's widespread, chronic male alcoholism) and a "weak state" (considered so because of Russia's unequal economy and poor social services). Drawing on extensive ethnographic and interview data, Jennifer Utrata focuses on the puzzle of how single motherhood-frequently seen as a social problem in other contexts-became taken for granted in the New Russia. Women without Men illuminates Russia's "quiet revolution" in family life through the lens of single motherhood. ![]()

Nor is he surprised when Nick travels home with him to help him get back on his feet-after all, years on the same Marine Force Recon team bonded the men in ways that only bleeding for a brother can.
