Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
A woman is more than her body. She's not just a pretty face. Her beauty is within, in the 'woman' she is inside, and that is what matters.
A woman is more than her body. She’s not just a pretty face. Her beauty is within, in the ‘woman’ she is inside, and that is what matters.
She’s not just a pretty face, To brighten up your day, She’s not just a pretty face, To laugh with and have your way, She’s not just a pretty face , To massage your ego and pass your time, Shes not just a pretty face, To be the background tune in your rhyme.
You thought you could undermine her might, Because of your limited short sight, But such is the power of truth and light, That she is destined to touch new heights.
You say women are equal, Yet you belittle her worth, You demean her efforts and sweat, When you associate success to her gender at first
You’re wired to think that a woman be shy, Despite being in an era where she’s taught to ask why, You’re wired to think that if she drinks she’ll fall all over the place, Despite being in an era where women have capacity to overtake you in the rat race, You’re wired to think she can either be one thing or be another, Despite being an era where she’s trained to be a daughter, friend, employee and mother
The next time you downplay a woman calling her just a pretty face, Remember to first match up with the challenges in her days, She’s not just living up to the years she was educated, She’s also fighting a silent battle to ensure she’s celebrated, Remember she’s not just a pretty face but a little bit of pretty all, Remember she’s not just a pretty face but an epitome of something that rises higher each time she falls
She’s not just a pretty face!

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.
