Abstract
Maclean’s has been valorised for its decision to publish articles on homosexuality in the 1960s, but Chatelaine’s foray into lesbian material has been neglected. The historiography of lesbian history for those decades points to bar culture, friendship networks and, less frequently, pulp novels as ways in which lesbians discovered themselves and each other. This work challenges that presumption and proves that this mainstream women’s magazine contained not only traditional images of heterosexual wives and mothers but also of lesbians. “Girlfriends” examines the micropractice of reading a mass-market women’s magazine from a queer perspective.
