I am not that hand you seeWorking the day longNot the voice you knowUnheard yet uncomplainingNot the office you take meConsidering compromisingNot the food served at your tableAt the cost of burnsNot the lullaby at theUnconscious tiring nightsNot the warmth you feelUnder your blanketNot that custom you knowTo satisfy your tastesNot that laugh when you thinkI am enjoying your guestsYour family, your mateI am nowhere thereWhere I can’t be knownVisible, felt, cared and celebratedTomorrowIf you can’t find me thereIt’s for you to seek!

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.
