Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
The work of homemakers is often invisible, undervalued, and taken for granted. Maybe this should be changing going forward?
Hey! You… The lady with the most unkempt hair, Did you just brush off layers from those medallions up there? I’m talking to you…. My lady…with the most unkempt hair. Can you put aside your ladle for a little while, and lend me an ear.. A stolen moment… What? Don’t tell me now that the maid is already there! I hope you read through your citations too! How long have they been up there? I guess, a year or two… Fifteen years! Is that what you said? Oh, yes! I do hear the doorbell ring But I need to know how a dancer clipped her wings? Let the boss’s mail rest in the box a while And put aside your chat box, It’s only vile. You can let the curry be Just sit down and answer me… Oh! The grocery can do alright But those honours up there…hope they’re within your sight. Even if you didn’t do the laundry I’d know you care… O my beautiful one with the most unkempt hair. . Believe me, I know the bills must be paid Home work finished and dinners made. I know the piles of those office files and phone bells and lullabies… Those prizes will gather some dust again, But before you mop your laurels up there Be sure you know, what’s tougher dear, To win a dime or wipe off the grime. Don’t turn off the lights, Lend me an ear… O lady with the most unkempt hair!

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.
