Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
We all are descended from our foremothers one of whom is Sita. Here is to the Sita in each one of us today.
Strong enough to have the ‘Shiv Dhanush’ as her toy
Coy enough to surrender to Ram who broke her toy
Adamant enough to give up the Palace Pleasures and walk the harsh jungles with her husband
Callow enough to lust after a golden deer
Wily enough to make Ram, go after it
Naive enough to cross the ‘Lakshman Rekha’
Devoted enough to not to succumb to Ravana’s charms and threats
Committed enough to go through the ‘Agni Pariksha’
Stoic enough to be the first ever documented single mother
Valiant enough to say ‘No More’ and join her mater…
Sita, don’t we all have a part of her, in our selves, generations after generations….
An old story .. One for Sita, the better half of Ramayana.. On Ram Navami

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.
