Abstract

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused massive disruption and changes to all levels of life in Britain. This article uses autoethnography as a method of research, reflexivity and transformation, to explore the complexities of lone-motherhood during the pandemic. An account is given of how, for myself, the concept of lone-motherhood was socially constructed. Evocative vignettes reflect how I look at my self, as a lone-mother in a pandemic and back at others, hopefully eliciting responses, reflection and dialogue from readers.
