The Secret Society of Women is a new network created “by women, for women”. The Secret Society was founded by journalist Ling. The site seems to have true staying power. It has only been around for a few months, however is already growing. Don't worry, this isn't an additional thing that you would have to take out a pay day loan just to sign up for.
Secret Society of Women roots
Lisa Ling co-founded the Secret Society of Women site. Ling had been facing a tough time after experiencing a miscarriage. Then she said women needed “a confidential, anonymous community to share experiences and soak up advice and words of wisdom from other women.” Early November was when the website got put up. On "The View" on December 7, Ling announced it.
Sharing experiences in one community
There are two things encouraged by the Secret Society of Women's site. Building a community and sharing secrets are these two things. Sharing secrets can happen in various different areas. "Daily Wish," "Favorite Things" and "Wisdom" are all examples of categories accessible to post in. All the sharing on the site can be done anonymously if tried. An e-mail address and username are required for registering though.
Secret sharing can happen other places besides Secret Society of Women
Secret Society of Women wasn't the first secret-sharing online place. It is just the most recent. A blog called PostSecret has built a huge community and following from simply posting postcards containing people’s secrets onto a blog. The web gives great anonymity. That means that most are willing to share secrets from personal lives on it. There is just a general community involved with the Secret Society of Women. It will probably be very popular though if what is happening now with its following continues.
