This is the debut issue of Mother Tongue: a biannual print magazine that interrogates modern motherhood through stories about art, sex, politics, pop culture, and food. It’s not about kids or how to parent them — it’s about women, and the nuanced lives they are living as mothers.
In this issue:
- A conversation about race, child-rearing and Princess Di with fashion designer-turned-artist Leena Similu, written by Melissa Goldstein and photographed by Magdalena Wosinska
- An interview with the feminist porn producer Erika Lust that touches on everything from acrylic nails to the “cancel porn” movement
- A look at the golden age of accountability culture
