Lifetime Real Women (stylized as Lrw) is an American digital cable channel which is intended as a compliment to the main Lifetime network. It was launched in August 2001 mainly as a response to Lifetime's challenges from the then-launching WE tv and Oxygen networks for the women's cable network market.[1] LRW is available in over 10 million homes via digital cable and telco providers. The network has a mixture of comedies, dramas, how-to, game shows, movies and reality programming that had once aired or are currently airing on the main Lifetime network.

Lifetime Real Women has never featured any original programming, relying on imported series (such as Gizzi Erskine's Cook Yourself Thin series from the UK or Style By Jury from Canada) or reruns of previous or current Lifetime series. It also does not carry any films, a role taken by Lifetime Movie Network.

The network is unavailable currently via satellite; DirecTV carried the network until July 2007. Cable carriage has declined as providers choose instead to carry high definition networks rather than standard definition channels without original programming.
