Mother Tongue’s third issue of their biannual print magazine is still warm to the touch; it is that hot off the press. Inside? A continued exploration of the complexities of motherhood, and the identities and roles it inevitably uproots in its wake.

In the wide abyss of parenting tips and women’s interest magazines, Mother Tongue offers refreshment — a slower way of wading through cultural, political, and societal topics through the nuanced eyes of motherhood, womanhood, and yes, even girlhood.
