Cecilia and Christine interview the editors of Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines (2016), Alexis Pauline Gumbs, China Martens, and Mai'a Williams. They discuss topics central to the creation of the book, such as expanding the category of "mother" beyond an essential biological construct to better reflect the active labor of the "mother" and mothering for social justice.
