Ensamstående mödrar beskrivs ofta som en utsatt och marginaliserad grupp i samhället med sämre hälsa och livsvillkor än andra grupper. Eventuellt positiva aspekter av att vara ensamstående moder lyfts sällan fram i vare sig massmedia eller facklitteratur. Syftet med denna undersökning var att beskriva och analysera ett antal ensamstående mödrars resonemang om sin livssituation och undersöka hur de uppfattar sin livskvalitet. Centrala frågeställningar var bl a vad ensamstående mödrar uppfattar som möjligheter och svårigheter i sin levnadssituation, samt vilka handlingsstrategier de beskriver att de använder sig av i vardagslivet. Undersökningen baserades på en kvalitativ metod där fyra ensamstående mödrar intervjuades.
