AHLA was written from a radical lesbian (Lesbiennes radicales) perspective, and aimed to offer analysis and reflection about political and philosophical issues affecting lesbians globally as well as in Quebec .[ 4]
The magazine's content drew heavily from Francophone material feminism , and the ideas of French theorists Monique Wittig and Nicole-Claude Mathieu . The front page of every issue clearly stated that the magazine was intended "for lesbians only".[ 2]
