Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
A strong, heartfelt poem about women forging ahead and making their own path!
She desired to set her feet in the world,
Add many feathers to her cap, as a flying bird,
‘Act like a lady’ she always heard,
That initially sounded to her weird.
She bore the wrath of her unheard voices,
‘cause deep down she made some wrong choices,
Which made her believe, she had many vices,
Thus, dragging the sorrows in all sizes!
Nevertheless, she worked like a horse,
Without feeling for her, a single remorse,
Thereby, making her body and soul worse,
But alas! She was her own nurse!
With time, she was taken for granted,
And the world forgot what she \”really\” wanted,
But those dreams to her, were still haunted,
And suddenly came to her, her confidence, undented.
All these times, she acted like a woman,
And forgot that she too was a human,
Now that she gained this acumen,
There is no going back, amen!
Now that she retrieved her power,
She has decided not to cower,
She vowed to bloom into a unique flower,
‘cause it’s now or never!
She will falter, she will rise,
Not heeding to what the society shall advise,
That’s how she would find her blessings in disguise,
And walk confidently on her path, to be wise!

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.
