Mother Figures – Other Mothers

Mother Figures – Other Mothers

A MER VOX Folio

“Mother Figures: Other Mothers” is the first of a series of folios to be published online this year focused on unique interpretations of the Mother Figures theme, which will also be the theme of our upcoming (April 2022) print issue. “Other Mothers” reminds readers that “mother” is a verb as well as a noun. It sheds light on how relatives, role models, mentors, and even nature can “mother.”
