My take varies by case, but I don’t think that children should be raised by a single person. Otherwise it could turn really nasty, like the child being alone most of the time, unsupported by any able-bodied adult (as their mum goes to work), effectively becoming the housemate for their breadwinning parent.
The situation is different however if the single woman is well supported by her family, living with them, and at least one of them is able to take responsibility for either bringing money in or taking care of the child as the mum is gone.
[Replying to myself to avoid editing the above.] I typically don’t give a damn to downvotes but I’m wondering why they popped up in this case. So, just to be clear:
OP is asking specifically about single women and my answer talks about it, focusing on the fact that child raising is a bit too much for a single person. I am not talking about lesbian couples because they fall outside the scope of the question, my views on the later in this regard are the same as heterosexual couples.
(If the issue that people saw with my comment is something else, say it because I don’t have a crystal ball.)
