That’s a tough one, since more sapphic dystopian I’ve seen has been YA, and most of the ones I’ve read and liked have been sci fi YA! Here are some titles that seem to fit, but that I haven’t read myself yet:

• Daughters of the North by Sarah Hall
• Zazen by Vanessa Veselka
  
• The Panopticon by Jenni Fagan [this is about a teenager, but it doesn’t look to be exactly YA]
  
• Rabbits of the Apocalypse by Benny Lawrence 
  

A Study In Honor by Claire O’Dell is set in post-Trump America, where a Latina, far-left president was elected after Trump. The far-right backlash was so extreme that it sparked a civil war. This has some sci fi, even steampunk elements, but it is rooted in social issues. (This one I have read and loved! It’s also a Sherlock Holmes retelling with both Holmes and Watson as queer black women!)

Those are the queer women dystopias I could find that are not YA and focus on social issues, but for more general sapphic dystopia recommendations, check out:

• Casey the Canadian Lesbrarian’s Ask Your Friendly Neighbourhood Lesbrarian: Lesbian/Bi Dystopian YA Novels
• The Lesbrary’s Dystopian tag
