Becoming an Unwed Mother: A Sociological Account (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780202309552)

Most unmarried women who engage in sexual intercourse do not become unwed mothers; they use contraceptives, secure an abortion, or get married. What happens to the minority of women who bear illegitimate children? This book presents a study to describe the actual situation of unwed motherhood, as opposed to the causes and pathology of deviance.
