Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
When the unfit shoe caused me pain, I complained to everyone I knew. So now I had to take charge of my pain all by myself!
The shoe dad bought Was smaller in size When I tried it first I complained. First to mom, Who said I will get used to. Then to dad Who expressed Since there was no return policy I must bear with it.
I tried and tried To fit in the “unfit” shoe But my feet hurt, blistered. Again, I complained To everyone dear to me. They all said it takes time to ‘adjust.’
Oh! I thought, May be the shoe will grow In size! And kept mum for a while Bearing the pain And blisters it caused. To my dismay It didn’t grow!
By now I had complained To everyone I knew. So now I had to Take charge Of my pain All by myself!
I couldn’t get rid of it Until I destroyed it So I cut it from the front! All screamed!! Oh! You have messed it ‘Walk barefoot!’ they pronounced.
Yes I will I thought. It was the shoe that was ‘unfit’ I wasn’t a ‘misfit,’ As you would like me to believe. And walking barefoot seemed More comfortable than with that unfit shoe!

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.
