Welcome to wowOwow and Thank You!

Joni Evans

Welcome! We launched on March 8th, the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. And we’ve been so happy with your responses to our site and to our questions. (Our first Question of the Day – Which four women would you like to see on Mt. Rushmore? — has received more than 2,000 e-mails and 150 on-site comments. We will tally the votes on Friday, so you still have time to get yours in.)

WowOwow is a party — disguised as a website — where we meet for coffee (in our robes) and for cocktails (without any makeup) and even in the middle of the night (someone’s always up!). Here, we can talk to our readers, invite the most interesting guests, share experiences, tell tales out of school, exchange gossip and news — and make some of our own.

WowOwow is created, written and owned by Lesley Stahl, Peggy Noonan, Liz Smith, Joni Evans, Mary Wells, Sheila Nevins, Joan Juliet Buck, Whoopi Goldberg, Julia Reed, Joan Ganz Cooney, Judith Martin, Candice Bergen, Lily Tomlin, Jane Wagner and Marlo Thomas.

Here’s what you’ll see:

What we want is to hear from you. On every page is a comment box ("Talk to Us") for you to share your opinions, which will become an integral part of the site. Your reactions, ideas and recommendations are crucial to us. Tell us what you like, don’t like and what you want to see. Tell us everything.

You are our guests. So, sit down, put your feet up and talk to us.

Dear Joni, Liz, Peggy, and all, Congratulations on the launch, and I wish long life and prosperity to the site. I have a lot of professional women friends who will be eager to be part of your conversation. As for your anti-astrology visitor, the scientific basis for astrology has indeed been proven. Once again, lots of luck and love from your token man. ML

What a wonderful site. I’m looking forward to reading all you have to offer each day. It’s such a pleasure to find women who are proud and content with whatever age they happen to be. I’ll be 58 next month and find each new age an adventure. Thank you!

I am glad to see such a great group will be stimulating converstation. Already I have seen things that made me remember the struggles in the 60’s, 70’s and caused me to revisit my feelings about the complacency my kids feel about the rights we fought so hard to secure. Great work! With all, humor helps

I read about this sight in the rocky mountain news this morning, and decided to check it out. I think that this is a fantastic website, and its nice to have a place to go on the net that is just for us women. Thank you ladies for this treat. Ellen Baird

Hope everybody had an excellent International Women’s Day. Did anybody know that it was actually started by the Socialist Party in 1909? Interesting Tidbit. I’m over at http://www.womenco.com - I hope our sites can work together, and not compete!

barbara weitz The first time I spent more than five minutes on anything but my email. I love it and my nominees would be all the incredible women already named plus Mollie Ivins.

This is a great site and a way to reach a lot of young people (the majority of people on the web) and teach them how to tell better stories and contribute higher quality content to the web. Your story on mashable is where I found you and probably a whole lot of more. I just “dugg” you and if you like this blog, you would digg it to as the more diggs it gets (its like a popularity contest), the more exposure it gets in a demographic that could benefit from this site. -guy in his 20’s

Have you thought about asking Maya Angelou or Marian Wright Edelman if they would join you? They are my heros too! Thanks for providing this option for us. Sue West

I look forward to the site’s evolution as you move up from Beta state. I suggest adding the cartoonist Ann Telnaes to your roster of contributors — sharpest out there.

I have just found out about this site and I am soooo glad you created it!!! Congratulation ladies. I will be around as often as I can, and promise to participate. We needed a place for intelligent, creative, active and hot forty-something girls. You rule. And we rule. Thank you

@Riayn: If you want substantive talk and progressive politics, check out 7-month old MOMocrats: http://momocrats.typepad.com/momocrats/ They’re like Salon’s Mothers Who Think, but 2.0. A diverse group of women. And they’re live-blogging the revolution!
