A '''single mother''' is a woman who is bringing up her children in the absence of a father. There are several scenarios that could be considered ''single motherhood'':
* The woman lives alone and does not know who the father of her children is
* The children's father has been killed, leaving the woman alone (also known as a "war widow" in the case that the father dies in military service)
* The mother and father are separated. In this case they may or may not share custody
