The U.S. has experienced a dramatic increase in births to unmarried women in recent decades - from 4 per cent of births in 1950, with most of the babies then adopted, to more than 30 per cent today. Melissa Ludtke's book is the only in-depth analysis of this radical change in family formation to compare and contrast the lives of these mothers of varying ages and economic circumstances.
