The ones SallyBrown said. Also:
"Matchmaker, Matchmaker" - Fiddler on the Roof (actually, up to 5 girls sing in this, but you can probably make it into a duet)
"Ohio" - Wonderful Town
"About a Quarter to Nine" - 42nd Street
"Class" - Chicago

I will never leave you - from Sideshow? Forgot the name of the song and show but I THINK that's it. I remember watching it on the Tony's thinking it was cool.

You Rule my World (reprise) from Full Monty
I've seen Mama I'm a Big Girl Now from Hairspray done as a duet
Come to my Garden/Lift Me Up from Secret Garden (although technically a soprano and a boy, it can be done with two females)
and might I compliment InfiniteTheaterFrenzy for the extensive list, as well as the Merrily icon . . .
Some people analyze every detail/
Some people stall when they can't see the trail/
Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail/
But I keep rollin' on/
Some people can't get success with their art/
Some people never feel love in their heart/
Some people can't tell the two things apart/
But I keep rollin' on

Haha thanks KateMusic! Compiling it was almost as fun as running around in the snow (which I just did).
Yay for a fellow Merrily fan!

Perfect Strangers from The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Solid Silver Platform Shoes from The Magic Show
Old Friend from I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking it on the Road can be done as a duet too
Some songs for men have been turned into duets for women at one point or another, too, including Pretty Women from Sweeney Todd and Live With Somebody You Love from Martin Guerre.
(So.. can you tell I've been listening to my Emily Skinner and Alice Ripley CDs?)

LOL wow, those were all Emily- Alice.
I definitely look to them for inspiration on female- female duets too.

I'm proud to say that I at least picked the Edwin Drood song without remembering Alice and Emily had done it. Besides, you took a bunch of mine 
Going through what I own, it doesn't seem like I have a lot of female duet songs, so when I doubt, I defer to those two, haha.

I would have to say that
Sisters--White Christmas
and
StepSister's Lament --Cinderella
are two of the best older duets for girls.
They are fun and the audience will get a kick out of them if you do it right
