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!

My house-help asked excitedly, “I am going for wedding. Can you let me wear your red & black saree? To be honest I was stumped for a moment; I didn’t know what to say but I still said yes.
I lent a gorgeous saree to my house-help for a wedding in her family. Soon I stated getting questions if I would wear that saree again or if I was okay to be seen wearing the same saree my house-help was wearing?
We are all so conditioned to give our used clothes to our house-helps but are we okay to wear the clothes they were wearing?
A few days ago she came excitedly to me, “I am going for a family wedding. I want to wear your red & black saree, Ill wash and give it to you after the function. Please can you let me wear it?”
Beauty is a very clever, very evil capitalist tool. It traps those who have it into hanging on to it for dear life and those who don't into mutilating, torturing themselves to achieve the unachievable.
I recently wrote a piece about MP Shashi Tharoor’s tweet in which he had shared a pic with six women parliamentarians tagging them and saying “Who says the Lok Sabha isn’t an attractive place to work?”
There was a rash of comments on the post shared on Instagram, which ranged from “chill, it’s just a compliment” and “stop overthinking compliments”, to (worried) men lamenting about “these feminazi”.
Here’s my answer to all those comments.
Which were the best articles on Women's Web in 2011? Editor's Pick here; share yours!
With 2011 coming to an end, we’ve completed 18 months of running Women’s Web, and what a fantastic, scary, exciting journey it has been! We had our ups and downs, we had our moments of doubt and others of exhilaration. The full-time team on the magazine expanded to a grand total of two, and we were joined by many new contributors as well.
At the end of 2011, I thought it would be fun to list down my favourite posts and articles of the year – the ones that I found most interesting, touching or involving in some way. Note, these are “my” picks from all the wonderful authors we published this year, so yeah, it is highly subjective. I was planning to pick 10, but I found that I just couldn’t – so, ultimately, I pruned down a much longer list to 12.
MY BEST OF WOMEN’S WEB 2011 (in random order)
In a series of posts called ‘The Women Behind Women’s Web’, we present to you the people involved in bringing you this website – some who’ve been there from the very beginning, and some who joined in enthusiastically during the first year. Hope you enjoy reading more about the team that contributes to Women’s Web. Presented in a Q&A format, this one is with freelance writer, Melanie Lobo, who wrote the first ever article that was published on Women’s Web – on Working during your pregnancy.
