Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Women's bodies, minds, lives, souls... are not their own. They are expected to live, exist, just BE only for those who think they own them.

Oh, you’ve put on weight. Do you not take exercise? Aww dear, your dark circles! Is there some problem? Do you not get sleep? You look so pale. Look at your pores. And black heads And oh, those acne. Get something done, no? Try this mixture. And, for the time being Put on makeup Because you ain’t pretty. So try some fakeness. For your double chin? Get a contour stick. It’ll help. And oh, you got a hair cut? But isn’t it too short? Anyway, they’ll grow. Don’t get ’em colored. Because what if? And that surgery scar? Keep it covered. It looks creepy. And, wear a nail paint At least. And hey, listen. Why are you living? Or breathing? Stop.

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.
