Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
A Housewife. She is not another woman without a salary. There is much more to her than you can ever see.
She doesn’t just marry the man, She marries, The kitchen knife, The talcum powder, The choked sink, The mess of toys, The humid kitchen, The whistle of the pressure cooker, The snuggles, The ruffles under the bedsheet, The unexpected visits to the doctor, The loud banter of her children, The continuous sound of the TV, The faraway look of her husband, The clothes getting wet in a sudden spell of rain, The foamy bathroom, The quiet cup of tea, The calculator for monthly groceries, The recipe notebook, The crayons spread all across the floor, The sleepless nights, The kittie parties, The surprise birthday parties, The cold stares, The long phone conversations, The spilled milk, The filled dustbin,
Like a fish in the aquarium, She marries the house, By love, by choice or by fate.
She is not another woman without a salary, There is much more to her than you can ever see.
Love her more than you judge her. This is the least you could do for her,
And for yourself.

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.
