Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
A poignant poem, in which a child reassures a grieving mother.
I wanted to cry, I wanted to die I wanted to leave all things behind I cried I shed tears while my baby lay beside He opened his eyes and raised his arms Touched my face with his little palm Looked in my eyes, smiled and giggled Threw his arms and legs, and babbled I took him in my arms and held him close
What do you feel my baby? What do you know?
I know mommy, I know it all. Believe me mommy it will all be well You will love me and I will love you We will be a team and we will fulfil our dreams Don’t feel sad mommy don’t feel bad Life will soon get little easier if not a lot We will sing and we will dance And mommy you will again make beautiful plans we will take each other by the hand And travel all over this vast land We will fly in the sky and travel the seas We will watch good movies and read lovely books
I will be your little buddy and you will be mine Believe me mommy we will be all fine.

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.
