Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Women are expected to have excellent housekeeping skills, and to want to keep a spic-n-span home. But not all women are domestic goddesses, and would like to spend the time on other things...

I have let it collect; this minor rubble of everyday existence.
boulders of un-ironed clothes, mirrors that need polishing, and the fine dust that has settled and bred on every surface.
they accuse me with their unending presence.
and I, lousy, reluctant housewife take a mental photograph of them.
I tear it up into little pieces which i set on fire, and then flush the ashes down the sink.
we have made peace, this daily debris and I.
we shall not look each other in the eye, we shall not speak of our differences we shall share this space.
till one day, under the influence of some inspired madness I will finally set them free.

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.
