Girlfriends
Close women friends
Girlfriends is the plural of girlfriend—women in romantic relationships or close female friends.
The meaning depends on who's speaking: a man's girlfriends are typically romantic partners, while a woman's girlfriends are usually her female friends: I'm having brunch with my girlfriends.
The term can also refer to multiple romantic partners, past or present: He introduced us to several of his ex-girlfriends.
