Homes of Single Women - Then and Now
In 1877, Susan B. Anthony gave a famous speech about 'Homes of Single Women.' She spoke about women who built lives on their own and created spaces where they could meet friends, share ideas, and feel free. More than a hundred years later, we also look for freedom and connection — but now our meeting places are online.
Independence Then and Now
Back in Anthony's time, living alone as a woman was rare. Yet many women chose this path. They opened their doors to visitors, ran social events, and built their own communities. It showed that you didn't need marriage to have a full and interesting life.
From Parlors to Hookup Sites
Today, our 'parlors' are digital. Singles use websites and apps to chat, meet, and decide what kind of relationship they want. Just like the women Anthony described, modern people are finding ways to shape their own lives, friendships, and romances outside of old traditions.
Freedom of Choice
Being single no longer means being alone. People can choose when, how, and with whom they spend time. They can look for conversation, friendship, or something more — on their own terms. This freedom reflects the same spirit of independence that Anthony spoke about.
Respect and Safety
With freedom comes responsibility. Clear communication, respect, and consent help make every meeting positive. Whether online or in person, a safe and kind approach lets both people enjoy the experience.
