Hey, I’m working on a video essay right now about Stephen Kings “The breathing method” which talks a lot about the general societal shittiness of being a single mother in the 1920s and I’m looking for essays or non fiction books about this topic or the general societal expectations of pregnancy but I don’t know where to start, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Try Married Love by Marie Stopes. It was THE book about sex, pregnancy and contraception in Britain in the early 20th century. That can give you a good background knowledge of what was common knowledge.
Also try the Irish government’s report into the unmarried mother’s homes.
