How the Founders of Girlfriends Cafe Met Over Coffee

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.

Davis and Allen have enjoyed many late night conversations over the years, discussing everything. "We could have solved all the world's problems." Lee said. But, one evening while talking about "everything" they began discussing how other women probably needed what they had.

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.

Lee and Linda have been amazed at the astounding number of women who have become a part of their dream. Lee stated that other web site, radio, national newspapers, and other types of media have all picked up the news of their online offering.

They have been saddened and amazed, at points by, the "need that women have, 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's 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."

One of the nicest areas offered at the Girlfriends Café site is the Inspirations area. Here, members write poems, stories, and other written contributions concerning their lives, ideas, and friendships. They are truly moving and help women remember those women who have been and continue to be an important element in their lives.

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!"
