Baby Bump attempts to help untangle the web of information thrown at mothers and their loved ones, and endow them with the tools necessary to exercise agency over their bodies and their lives. We do not buy into 'the motherhood mystique,' a concept that, [according to Joan C. Chrisler and Ingrid Johnston-Robledo], serves the patriarchy and arises out of 'cultural images of happy, well-adjusted women who are content with their roles as primary caretakers of their children.' Baby Bump also intends to create a space that does not privilege the white, middle-class experience over groups traditionally pushed toward the periphery and strives to include articles that pertain to a wide breadth of women.--Letter from our editor, Emma Gruner.
