I also hope it has to be a secret to make it more accurate (don't get me started on the incorrect titles and inheritance laws). However, women were expected to have closer relationships and be more openly affectionate than men were. So it would be easier for two women to have a relationship than it would be for two men since the ladies would just appear to be close friends. It would not be unheard of for two "spinsters" to live together for the rest of their lives.
