Dear Friends:

Nearly 3,000 of you voted, and here are the winners of our first Question of the Day (Which four women would you like to see on Mount Rushmore?):

Eleanor Roosevelt: 1,763
Susan B. Anthony: 909
Rosa Parks: 842
Hilary Clinton: 718

Some strong runner ups: Harriet Tubman, Mother Theresa, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem, Amelia Earhart and Sojourner Truth.

This week, Meg Whitman joins us for a wOw interview. Recently announcing plans to resign from the CEO-ship of eBay, she tells Lesley Stahl her career philosophy, thoughts on the presidential race and future plans.

Your comments are clear and inspiring and we are learning from them every day. This week the wOw contributors will start responding to many of your comments (our tech team is finally catching up to our irrepressible need to TALK back!)

Also, our "tech guru" Liz Smith will give you a 5-minute video on how to use our site.

XOXOX,
Joni

I read your question on Mt. Rushmore as a metaphorical question for us to think of women we admire who should be recognized - an interesting springboard for discussion as we begin this new adventure in cyberspace. Hillary is making history now as she runs for the Presidency in our male-dominated society. That’s significant. Others have made their own contributions and we can admire them all.

Where is Margaret Sanger in all this? Her work to help bring safe contraception to all of us is so key to our lives today.

When I first saw a picture of Mt. Rushmore I was under 10 years old and I clearly remember my reaction. I still feel the same way everytime I see it or hear about it. I feel terrible for the American Indians that live in that region who have to look up and see white men lording it over them. It is the height of arrogance that a beautiful natural mountain was desecrated to chisel in features of people. I love to look at sculptures and admire artists that can do and have done that can of work but Mt. Rushmore makes me very sad and sometimes angry if I think about it too much. He could have just as easily done free standing sculptures and put them in a museum. Thanks for letting me get this off of my chest. I’ve never expressed these thoughts to anyone; at least I don’t remember ever mentioning how I felt about this topic.

Why would Candice Bergen want to see B Spears as one of the four figures? Please explain.

Question of the day…

What are your impressions of Paul McCartney’s triumphant return to the Ed Sullivan Theater?  Were you in the crowd?
