Hip Mamas By Beth Schulman Having spent most of her teen-age years traveling solo in Asia and Europe, Ariel Gore was already a woman of the world at age 19 when she gave birth to Maia. But motherhood proved to be the most challenging destination she Credit: Ellen Forney had encountered: "the shore of a strange island" where she often found herself surrounded by "voices of discouragement." Over the 10 years since Maia's birth, Ariel has built a life around the project of countering those voices, first for herself, and gradually with the thousands of other mothers she has reached in her work. While still a student at the University of California at Berkeley, she began publishing Hip Mama magazine in 1993. The publication has spawned a busy Web site for hip mamas (hipmama.com) now managed completely by the moms it attracted. Ariel's new book, The Mother Trip: Hip Mama's Guide to Staying Sane in the Chaos of Motherhood, blends her experience and commentary into a manifesto for the liberation of mothers, children and even fathers from the many oppressive conventions of modern parenting. Beth Schulman is the publisher of In These Times.   TOP HOME SUBSCRIBE MAIL   In These Times © 2000 Vol. 24, No. 13
