Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
What society, even our loved ones think that a woman needs, and what a woman needs in reality, are completely different things. An evocative poem.
Father, don’t gift me a husband to secure my future Gift me education to secure my own future
Brother, don’t gift me your strength to save me from evils of world Gift me confidence to build my own strength and challenge them
Husband, don’t gift me an expensive dinner date Gift me a helping hand for everyday chores
Society, don’t gift me the definitions of a woman Gift me space and liberty to define my own self
Don’t just make me feel special for one day Let me make my life special everyday!

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
