Her six word story, often untold: a journal for exploration

Her Six Word Story, Often Untold is a project recognizing and celebrating women's lives, in their own words. Women-local, national, and international-tell their story in just six words. It is an exploration of our stories, as women, that we keep private or hidden, consciously or unconsciously.

It is a space for women to share these personal truths and create an artistic interpretation of the empathetic and indomitable human spirit of women, without judgment or retribution.

The project is ongoing and, as of this printing, more than 115 women have participated. You can watch a short film featuring many of the stories and view more of them online and share your story at hersixwordstory.com.

This journal is for your own exploration and self-reflection. The stories within may resonate with you, either on a personal or, on a more abstract level. They may inspire you to write a response to the author, or write your own story prompted by another's. You may want to draw within its pages or paste photographs. It's a place for your story to live among others.
