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.

This is a b-e-a-utiful idea! I think that this site may end up being a threat to some people. When women get together they become a powerful force. That’s why the word “ditzy” was attached to us as women because if people can get us to feel inadequate, we would never get together like you all have on this site. Thanx for this website. I can’t wait to see how it goes. You know the numbers are going to soar right? Tell Whoopie I love her…(kisses, kisses, kisses.) God bless and more power to ya!

I am probably one of the youngest in this line of comments lol, but i am so thankful for this site as for i am a stay at home mom who is lost in the world of cartoons and childrens books and who watches the news for bits and pieces’s of some intelligent thoughts. But all i found was who killed who and for SHOES?? I may not be as “smart” or up to date on the important topics but im hoping that this site can get me more into the “Womans” circle and out of the play circle…..

I just heard about this site on GMA. Thank you so much ladies for creating such a site. It’s about time we have a place to go and ask questions and actually get answers from such great ladies. I have a couple issues I’d like to talk about at a later date. I have another engagement in an hour. I just wanted to thank you all for this wonderful opportunity.

I’m delighted to see these beautiful, intelligent women together in one location on the web. I’m looking forward to being part of this and sharing my thoughts and reading the thoughts of others who are sharing their knowledge. I too am trying to make a difference in the world…and we can all do that…one woman at a time. (www.tragedyintincanholler.com)

As a 60 year old I have been looking for a forum like this! Way to go! I will be on here every day. I saw some of you on GMA this morning. I do a mean Edith Ann, love you Lili. And Candice, I watch you every Tuesday night…fabulous show. I’m reading Tolle’s book, maybe we could have a conversation book club. Signed, The Sailboating Librarian.

I just discovered this site through Good Morning America.  It’s exciting, refreshing and encouraging to find a site giving voice to women who have lived long enough to have experience and perspective.  I would love to see a section on what other women are reading.

Every day we’re finding more delicious online information for the middle-aged, and for women in particular…those women who are NOT so enamored of AARP Magazine, which used to be our only outlet for aging. That is why my sister and I started our blog, The Midlife Gals last summer. We are women of the sixties and we’re bright and incredibly funny…a little cynical, ok, a LOT cynical, but we’re still out here having fun! Check us out and watch some of our insane videos! http://midlifegals.blogspot.com Thanks, Kelly and Sally Jackson (aka KK and SalGal)

Great site!! Just saw the interview on Good Morning America. I’m sure hits to the site spiked immediately. Looking forward to meandering thru with my morning coffee.

As Debbie Reynolds once said as Molly Brown, “Well dip me and fry me!”. Caught you on GMA this morning and felt immediately relieved to know this band of Amazons is happening. I have my robe and coffee, and ready to devour your site. Thank you so much!

I just got the link to this site from a good friend of mine who lives in NYC….and my first thought, on visiting, is “OH GREATANOTHER way to spend my time instead of working!”

Great site and idea. As a business owner, I would like to see conversations and subjects pertaining to women business owners. We often face challenges different from business owners who are men. Thank you all for your efforts, laughs and thoughts - this is both enjoyable and beneficial. Jane B

I just joined your wonderful page, and you guessed it, I’m in my pjs and sipping coffee. When I look at this group of beautiful women, I know that anyone of you could run for president of this country!
