Shame about Single Mums
British singer Jamelia Davis is a single mum and it isn't something she's proud of. But why? After all, millions of other women in Britain are in the same boat. In this fascinating documentary, Jamelia sets out to explore the source of her shame through the experiences of other single mums in the past. She begins in the Victorian workhouse, where unmarried mothers were deemed unfit to raise their own children. She discovers that even in the ‘swinging sixties' the stigma was still so great that many young women felt they had no choice but to give their babies up for adoption.
