The volume at hand brings to life the lives of single parents in the first half of the twentieth century based on autobiographical sketches of thirteen Austrian women. Each of these (sometimes abridged) narratives is preceded and supplemented by a register. The forward places the individual stories within a summary of Austrian social history. An appendix contains a glossary as well as photographs from the private collection of the author. The volume successfully presents non-literary autobiography with the means open to a critical reference edition. The collected volume can therefore be recommended to interested laypeople as well as for scholarship.
