Juggling motherhood and career, well being of family and her own fitness, home and office, and at the same time, fighting the patriarchal rules, regressive comments, and illiberal mentality - a woman’s life is tough. Women are leaving no stones unturned to achieve personal & professional success and mental peace. Their moral fibre and spirit need celebration and appreciation every single day. 

Indra Nooyi, Laxmi Agarwal, Neerja Bhanot, Shakuntala Devi, PV Sindhu and thousands of such names are known. However, there might be many more such names around you, in your locality, at your office / school / college, and thousands who are fighting to prove their point, existence, and ideas. Let’s celebrate these untold stories.

StoryMirror presents #WomenOfToday, a writing contest to celebrate women and their contribution.
