Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Nothing else can make you glow, more than the strength you show. Do what you like or don't do it, nobody should tell you what is your fit.
Nothing else can make you glow, more than the strength you show. Do what you like or don’t do it, nobody should tell you what is your fit.
You are as pretty as it can get,You don’t believe it, I bet
You think eyes should be black, not brownYou look at your nose and often frown
You think your hair should be curly not straightYou did everything possible to reduce weight
You think pimples make you look oldYou think red lipstick is way too bold
You stopped sweets long agoWith face powder, nowhere you go.
Why? Because they said so?Because they defined the beauty you know?
I believed it all when I was fifteenI tried a lot and no change was seen
Then I learnt I’m beautiful alreadyLet them criticise, I’m ready
No you don’t have to look like an hour glassNo you don’t need to resemble that magazine cover lass
No cream can make you look whiteTry liking your skin color, you might?
Nothing else can make you glowMore than the strength you show
Do what you like or don’t do itNobody should tell you what is your fit
Wear makeup or just step out like thatEat what you like; it’s okay to be fat
Obese is a problem, fat is notStained mind is a problem, skirt is not.
Little girl you are not uglyBeauty doesn’t depend on what they see
Lots of love,Another girl who is always told she’s not beautiful.

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.
