Girlfriends was a women's magazine that provided critical coverage of culture, entertainment, and world events from a lesbian perspective.

[1] It was founded by five women Jacob and Diane Anderson-Minshall, Heather Findlay, Bonnie Simon and Zannah Noe.

It had the same publisher as lesbian erotica magazine On Our Backs, but distanced itself from its pornographic counterpart by refusing to carry sexual ads.

[4][5] One of the major features of the magazine was its annual list on the best cities for a lesbian to live in, which it began publishing in 1994.
