Single Mom - You Are a Hero! You may not see yourself as one, nor have you been celebrated as such. Society might make you feel like a failure, burdened by the weight of your circumstances. Yet, do not let others' opinions define your worth. True heroes are recognized for their courage and noble qualities, and as a single mom, you embody this spirit. You are a warrior, nurturing and protecting your children against all odds. This book chronicles the inspiring journeys of eight single moms who overcame significant challenges to build better lives for themselves and their families. Each story highlights the adversities faced and the inner strength that propelled these women to success, often with the support of the Helping Hands for Single Moms scholarship program. Initially, each mom felt ordinary, just another statistic. However, their fierce love for their children transformed their lives. As you read, you will root for these moms as they navigate obstacles and discover that it’s never too late for a fresh start. Their stories remind us of the power of resilience and the impact of community support. Embrace the message that even in the face of adversity, a new beginning is always possible.

Working at the intersection of psychoanalytic, queer, and transgender theories, this book argues for the need to read Lacanian psychoanalysis through a queer and trans-positive framework. In so doing, it challenges the dimensions of fantasy at play in efforts to insist on the continued validity of the binary gender system. Targeting the Lacanian concept of “sexual difference” - that desire is structured through the difference between masculine and feminine - it argues that this idea is not transhistorical, as orthodox Lacanians claim, but rather a historically contingent fantasy. As such, it argues that psychoanalytic queer theorists need to go beyond this fantasy to register truly the full range of sexualities and modes of embodiment.Examining texts as diverse as films such as Hedwig and the Angry Inch and literary texts such as Paul takes the Form of a Mortal Girl , the book enables a queer and trans- inclusive model of theorizing subjectivity in psychoanalysis, psychosocial studies and cultural studies.
