Explore the layered realities of modern motherhood in Mother Tongue Issue 2, the biannual editorial magazine that interrogates—and celebrates—the lives we’re living as mothers, and far beyond that role. Through inclusive stories spanning art, sex, pop culture, politics, food, and more, Mother Tongue captures the nuance, humor, and contradictions of contemporary womanhood. It’s not about raising kids—it’s about the cultural, creative, and deeply personal worlds mothers inhabit. In this issue, rest becomes radical, Kim Gordon shuts down James Franco, and writer Sarah Hoover goes searching for her lost libido. Poet Kate Baer texts her friends, The Vegan Hood Chefs dish out food justice with coconut whipped cream, and photographer Bronwen Parker-Rhodes heads to the strip club in pursuit of feminism on the main stage. Along the way, the issue explores unexpected parenthood, existential wellness trends, and a possible secret to self-preservation in Japan’s Shizuoka province. Sharp, curious, and visually rich, Mother Tongue Issue 2 is a cultural snapshot of motherhood in all its complexity. Dimensions: 9.5 in x 7.5 in x 0.3 in Pages: 119 Pages Show more
