In this week's Wednesday 5, we share with you five women (although we could share with you 100 times more) we're incredibly thankful for this Thanskgiving. And we didn't have to look far—they are right here in our Women's Voices vast family. These women move us, challenge us, inspire us, and make us laugh. On the eve of Thanksgiving, we share with you their stories and the valuable life lessons they've shared with us and our readers over the course of the year.

Now we are 6, and our site, "Women's Voices for Change" has broadened its vision beyond its original mission—debunking the universal myths about menopause—to celebrating the power and wisdom of women in the second half of life.

Helen Gurley Brown might have been more liberating than we think; Joanna Coles takes the reins at "Cosmopolitan" and is asking the right and not-so-right questions; more controversy over Noami Wolf's exposé on the "vagina"—this time it's the medical experts who aren't pleased; and we go to bat for Tina Brown, a woman of reinvention you might not want to bet against.
