Longer days, slower evenings, and the latest issue of Restless Violets. What more could a lesbian want?
Our Summer 2025 issue invites you to pause, breathe, and soak up the richness of lesbian life in all its complexity. Inside, you’ll find essays and art that provoke, soothe, challenge, and celebrate.

Highlights include:
Girlhood, Reframed: Photographer Lauren Mae opens up about identity, memory, and her groundbreaking visual project
Why We Still Need Lesbian-Only Spaces: Writer Carys Burke makes a stirring case for lesbian sanctuary
Windows Without Curtains: Class, privacy, and how we construct—and conceal—our lesbian identities
This issue holds a little bit of everything, and is a love letter to our community, in full bloom.
