Cats – answering only to themselves, loving only whom they choose, roaming, watchful, adept at making seemingly impossible leaps, soft-footed yet claw-tipped – have been alternatively reviled and worshipped for millennia.    Historically the companion of witches, single women and crones – a byword for female sexual anatomy – cats are powerful and political and difficult to pin down.  No wonder weak men fear them and women have long aligned with them. Autonomous creatures have always been a threat to the patriarchy. Gloria Steinem’s advice to young girls at a women’s conference in 2017 was to act like a cat. “Cats don’t let you touch them. Cats tell you what they’re going to do, and that’s that.” In a world where a convicted felon and sexual predator can be elected President of the United States and can ‘Grab ‘em by the pussy’ without consequence, where a politician can decry a ‘childless cat lady’ as if it is an insult, we at Violet will continue celebrating our independence and nurturing our shared connection to our fellow animals, to nature, to each other. This is where true power lies.  Order Violet issue Issue 22 🐈‍⬛ Cat Power 🐈‍⬛ Link in Bio Photography @emmasummerton Editor-in-chief & Styling @leithclark Hair @estherlangham Makeup @romyglow Model @walldamort Art Direction @missy.bourke Sara Grace in @alessandrarich @catbirdnyc Cover 1/2

We loved her as Flora, a struggling single mother in Flora and Son, as Nurse Lucy Elkin in the Knick. But it was Bad Sisters, following the five Garvey sisters in the wake of a family death, that made us fall madly for Eve Hewson.  Bad Sisters is a celebration of sisterhood, of complex, diverse femininity, and of the bonds between women that can act as a shield against danger and the rest of the world.  Eve’s character, Becka Garvey, is the youngest of the sisters. She’s on a path from naiveté to growth, maturity and self-reliance – with fierce loyalty and strength - and a touch of homicide along the way.  ORDER VIOLET ISSUE 22.
