Here is the fourth winner of our October 2017 Muse of the Month contest, Sadaf Vidha.
The cue for this month was from the movie No One Killed Jessica. One woman’s struggle for justice against all odds. “I don’t want to fight anymore. I am tired, and I am fed up.” “You can’t give up now. You have to keep on fighting. This fight is not about you. It’s about justice.”
Each time you look the boss, In the eye, And don’t let him corner, The new female colleague.
Each time you don’t, Give in to taking less pay, Or choosing one from, Work or family.
Each time you, Tell your dad, To either shut the fuck up, Or actually appreciate your mom’s cooking.
Each time, You tell your uncle that, Yes, you would like some tea, But if only if he made it.
Each Time you told yourself, “what will my arguing achieve?” And then you challenged the patriarchy Anyway, You won one, Against the status quo.
Sadaf Vidha wins a Rs 250 Amazon voucher, as well as a chance to be picked one among the top winners at the end of 2017. Congratulations!

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.
