"We need to stop telling the story about the woman who stayed home, passive and dependent, waiting for her man. She wasn't sitting around waiting. She was busy. She still is."

―Rebecca Solnit, The Mother of All Questions.

Hello and welcome to our first prompt of March. This week, we'll be focussing on independent women. Independent women come in all shapes and sizes, and fill up a large role in society today. Based on the quote above, you have the chance to discuss the prompt and come up with a short drabble or story in the comments below.

The best drabble or story from the comments will be mentioned in our end-of-the-week round-up, along with our own discussion on the prompt. Your drabble needs to be about independent women, and can either be a paragraph to a greater story, your own views or even just a few lines of what you view to be an independent woman.

Remember that you can also recommend any stories you think falls in line with our weekly themes, by submitting your or another's story to our submission form. Your story not only stands a chance of being recommended in Daily Dose of Chicklit, but it will also stand the chance to win a place in our current reading lists!

We can't wait to read your comments. Have fun!
