Mother Tongue #6

Mother Tongue is a biannual print magazine that interrogates (and celebrates) modern motherhood through inclusive stories about art, sex, pop culture, politics, food and a few things in between.

It’s not about kids or how to parent them: it’s about the nuanced lives we are living—as mothers, and much more.

The magazine is edited by co-founders Melissa Goldstein and Natalia Rachlin and designed by creative director Vanessa Saba.

Mother Tongue - Issue #06

In this issue Mother Tongue Magazine discuss the coexistence of humor and trauma with filmmaker Lulu Wang and writer Priyanka Mattoo; revel in the confidence of the Real Housewives; talk empathy and non-binary thinking in a post-October 7th reality with Moj Mahdara, Sharon Brous and BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors.

They try on chore coats and grief with Jessie Gaynor; examine the symmetry of our breasts with Caitlin Scholl; and get lusty about midlife with our cover star Miranda July, in a sizzling profile written by Hillary Kelly.

They forgo categorization with artist Hayv Kahraman; rally for sisterhood with Salamishah and Scheherazade Tillet; look to the right and left with Shannon Watts; resist hoarding with Victoria Hely-Hutchinson; and solve mysteries with poet Maggie Smith.
