Why Midriff<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

When midlife women are made invisible, the stories don't vanish. They go underground.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Midriff is a biannual print magazine exploring the creative, intellectual, and embodied lives of women in midlife and beyond. We expand the map of midlife, tracing the surprising ways this chapter unfolds and giving our readers both the language and the landmarks to navigate together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I’ve spent twenty years publishing other people’s voices and building media for women in the middle of their most interesting ideas. Midriff is the magazine I’ve been waiting for \u2014 and the one I’d like to hand you across a kitchen table.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
