Abstract
Gentle Warnors is a collection of interviews from six, female, lone-parents attending the
University of Lethbridge. The interviews span three years. The interview questions discuss
the history of becoming a single parent and the reasons for returning to school. The stress
factors experienced in this role and the women's coping mechanisms are explored.
The personal process experienced by the author is included. The decisions to change
the project from a quantitative research project to a narrative, qualitative work is explained.
