A female who is the sole provider for their child(ren), financially and emotionally. This can be do to unforeseeable circumstances, such as death. Or by choice, such as artificial insemination. Often times these females are forced to seek government assistance, but is not always the case. Women who receive help from the other parent, child support or weekends at the other parents for examples could not be considered single moms. Though they are single, the other parent is still assisting them in rearing the child(ren).
Jane is an awesome single mom, her husband died so now she's doing it all on her own.
