Violet - Issue 22, Cats

Violet - Issue 22 celebrates the power, independence, and resilience of cats, exploring their political and cultural significance as symbols of autonomy. With a nod to Gloria Steinem's advice, this issue honors the strength of women who, like cats, refuse to be controlled, in a world that often undermines their power.

Cat Power 
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.

Violet is a bi-annual fashion and culture magazine, voicing diverse opinions about modern culture and issues.  Violet magazine focuses around women's right covering topics on art, politics, fashion, photography, and feminism.
