Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
This poem describes what goes on in a woman's mind when she resolves to break the shackles and fly free.
She stepped out of the shadows, into the light
Tentative steps, guided only by will and might
Scared and nervous and yet with a steely resolve
She vowed to be strong, to adapt and to evolve.
They had shackled her, bound her in servitude
Till all she felt was pain, a perpetual lassitude
Until one day, her spirit kicked back, it fought
She rose, broke open the ties and she sought.
Today she stood on the threshold of a new life
But if only she could shed fear, fight her strife
The forbidden beckoned as liberty danced free
Her bolstered spirit stepped out, joined the melee

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.
