Submit your personal story on your author dashboard. If you aren’t yet an author with us, it is easy to sign up here.
When you submit, do not forget to put the hashtag #LegacyOfStrength alongside your title.
While submitting your story, you will be asked to choose an image from Unsplash before you can submit. Use very generic keywords to find an image, and do not worry if it isn’t exactly what you want. All submissions that come for this celebration will be edited by editors to make changes.
If there are personal photographs you want us to include, please email them to us at [email protected] with #LegacyOfStrength in the subject line. Make sure these are good, clear images belonging to you. If they aren’t clear, we will use a stock image.
If your story is about creating your business and running it, then you can put in up to 2 links to the business.
1. This should be a previously unpublished story.
2. Once published on Women’s Web, you may not publish it in whole elsewhere, except for an excerpt with a link back to us. They will remain exclusive to us.
Since Mother’s Day is on the 14th of May, your stories will be published leading up to the day, but we will also be publishing your stories all through May. So while there is no specific deadline, the earlier you send your story, the better for you and for us.
Women’s Web now uses technology for publishing support, to help our community see their work up faster. Hence, a number of posts will get accepted and published right away, while a few others will go through some additional checks by editors.
Whichever the case is, editors are looking at all your submissions.
We look forward to your mother daughter stories that are a #LegacyOfStrength in your career or your business!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
