Hip Mama: The Parenting Zine is an American Alternative Press Award-winning quarterly periodical covering the culture and politics of parenting. The magazine is widely credited with launching the contemporary mothers' movement.
The first issue of Hip Mama was published in December, 1993, in Oakland, California, by the founding editor Ariel Gore as a forum for single, urban and feminist mothers. Gore edited Hip Mama for 15 years. The magazine, now edited and published by a worker-owned collective including Kerlin Richter, is based in Portland, Oregon.

and think of my hip where it lay
for four years like a darkness.”

and Grampaw has come
and everybody is drunk
and dancing in the kitchen”
