Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Tell them how women have always had to fight, to get what they want. But most importantly, remind them that they are princesses, and shouldn't settle for any less.
When they tell you fairytales They emphasise on what a resplendent gown she wore What a spectacular palace it was What a charming prince she got What flawless skin and silky hair she had What a “good girl” she was.
But when you tell fairytales to your daughters and sisters I ask of you, tell them this.
Tell them Snow White when alone in a forest Made friends with the elves and animals
How Cinderella got her happy ending Not in a shiny gown but in a dress with cinders
How Jasmine didn’t want the riches But to escape the palace and explore the city
How Belle risked her life to save her father And wasn’t scared of the beast
How Ariel didn’t listen to what she shouldn’t And swam up and above to the shore
Tell them how women have always had to fight To get what they want And most importantly, remind them, each one of them, that They are princesses and shouldn’t settle for any less.

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.
