Marlo Thomas launches website for women on AOL

[September 23, 2010]  NEW YORK (AP) -- AOL is partnering with Marlo Thomas for a website of her own.

Thomas says the site, which officially launched Wednesday, is aimed at women over 35 years old.

The well-known actress and social activist says the goal is for her to talk to the nation's women -- and get them talking back.

She says she wants women to feel "there's lots of dreaming yet to go."

She describes the site as video-heavy, including live streaming chat and user-submitted video, and says she wants to share ideas.

Next week, Thomas is releasing a memoir, "Growing Up Laughing."

Earlier this month, AOL added talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres to its Web properties as it began sharing content with the website of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
