The NEW Women's Movement: Girlfriend's Cafe
A Brewster Smythe
July 28, 2007
Lee Davis and Linda Allen have enjoyed a fantastic friendship throughout the years. A friendship that began over a cup of coffee, has evolved into a breathtaking social network for women.
Girlfriends Café is an "online meeting place" for women of all ages. It was formed to bring women of all ages together. To offer them the comfort and necessity of female closeness.
Lee Davis and Linda Allen have spent the years together, one may have been in Utah, the other in Florida. Times and circumstances may have changed, but their friendship flourished and they both valued the support and familiarity of their closeness. They both agreed after one evening of savoring this long relationship that women would value the opportunity to have what they both had shared for so many years.
And so Girlfriends Café was born.
Since its online debut in March of this year, Girlfriends Café has become the online home of over 4700 members. All types of women have found Girlfriends Café to be a safe place in the storm of life.
I was granted an interview with Lee Davis, one of the founders of Girlfriends Café. She and Linda have been amazed at the astounding number of women who have become a part of their dream. Lee stated that advertising, radio and national newspapers, and other types of media have all picked up the news of their online offering.
They have been saddened at points by the "need for women to have contact with other women, with an adult woman". "Single mothers who suddenly find themselves isolated, have a real need for this network!" Lee was enthusiastic about the way she and Linda have been able to provide a place for women to find empowerment.
"This is not so much about feminism, just about women being proud of who they are, in whatever place in life they may be." Lee said she has been a witness to the changes in women's view of themselves throughout the years. "Pushing fifty" Lee has been an observer of women since the women's movement began in the 1960's. "I had hoped for more change." "Many women still need support, and that is one of the benefits that Girlfriends Café provides."
But, that is not all. There are chat rooms, message boards, a free classifieds area, and a place to blog. All of this for free. "We will never charge to become a member of Girlfriends Café."
Who would have ever thought that a relationship born over a cup of coffee would have evolved into Girlfriends Café? An online oasis, " created by girlfriends for girlfriends!"
