Bringing you here a round-up of the post popular Women’s Web posts of 2014, the blockbusters that readers around the world loved, shared and debated about.
As 2014 comes to a close, we’ve had a wonderful year of bringing you engaging, enriching, entertaining reads here at Women’s Web. We published almost a 1000 posts on subjects as varied as Work, Parenting, Social Issues, Women’s Rights, Books, Health & Leisure activities, accomplished a complete site revamp including a mobile-ready site, got a whole new accomplished bunch of writers to sign up as authors here…in short, had a blessed year, although with its fair share of challenges.
I thought it would be great to wind up the year with a list of the 10 most popular reads published this year on Women’s Web. You’ve possibly come across some of them before, but you may have missed a few as well. So, here is our ‘Blockbuster’ list for you to read, share and enjoy!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
