Using a range of parish records, records from the Registrar General of Scotland,
charity organizations, and media reports, this article contributes to the
historiography which evaluates the effects of World War I in Britain as well as
the history of lone mothers and their children. It highlights how during the war,
women, especially lone mothers, made significant gains through the welfare
system, changing approaches to illegitimacy and the plentiful nature of women's
work but also how in doing so this brought them under greater surveillance by the
state, local parishes, and charity organizations. Moreover, as this article will
demonstrate, many of the gains made by women were short-lived and in fact the war
contributed to high levels of family breakdown and gendered and intergenerational
poverty endured by lone mothers and their children.
