About

There is a meritocracy to writing. It’s not overpowered by extroverts, not bullied by bullies, not hushed by hierarchy. Lemon Quarterly nurtures this freedom with caring attention to feminist thought and the troubles and triumphs tangled into life. Our writers hail from around the world and have a diverse range of personal and professional pursuits. We seek to bring voices often not heard into the public discourse – we hope you enjoy them.
