Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Excellently articulated, this poem about a day in the life of a working mother proceeds at a staccato pace that captures very well the way her day might go.
I woke up, Rushed to kids’ door, Checked on them, Back to more.
Screened the house, Locked the stores, Picked them up, Hustled two floors.
Gobbled some food, Bid adieu, Off to work, Gulped a coffee or two.
Filled some forms, Examined a few. Wrapped up quick, Off again I flew.
Danced the two, As I glanced through the door. Hugged and kissed And cuddled and more.
Splashed my face, Put them to play. They Giggled and Jumped And Laughed as I sway.
Held them and fed A morsel or two. Prepared the bath, Struggled anew.
Exhausted and fallen, Put them to bed . Straightened the spine, ‘Knock-knock’ the door said.
He came, we sat. A talk ensued. Few jokes, some jabs A point of view.
He answered, I asked And we argued such, He concluded ‘You Can’t Even Do This Much!’

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.
