Drawing on 16 interviews with low-income, Black single mothers, we analyze how gender, race, class, and the ideology of intensive mothering intersect to shape these mothers’ parenting. Mothers repeatedly emphasized the importance of sacrifice, self-reliance, and protection. In short, good mothers sacrifice for their children; they are self-reliant and teach their children to be this way too; and they protect their children. We argue that low-income mothers embrace and perform intensive mothering in the absence of larger social supports for their children’s upbringing and at a cost to their own emotional and physical well-being. }, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF FAMILY ISSUES}, author={Elliott, Sinikka and Powell, Rachel and Brenton, Joslyn}, year={2015}, month={Feb}, pages={351–370} }
