WLW (Women Loving Women)

"Women Loving Women" — an acronym for women who are attracted to women, regardless of how they specifically identify. WLW includes lesbians, bisexual women, pansexual women, and queer women.

WLW is used as an inclusive, identity-neutral way to describe women's same-gender attraction. It appears commonly in online spaces, media recommendations, and community discussions — for example, "WLW book recommendations."

The acronym's usefulness is its broadness: it describes attraction without forcing a label onto the person. It parallels MLM (Men Loving Men) and MSM (Men who have Sex with Men), though WLW and MLM describe attraction/identity while MSM describes behavior.
