Stiletto Woman
As taken from their site: Stiletto Woman, Inc. is a sassy, yet sophisticated inspirational new-media communications and empowerment network exclusively for women. Stiletto Woman represents you, me, her—it’s a community! A movement! We realize the modern woman is not just a mother, wife, or single female. She is a leader. She is visionary—an independent thinker. She is nurturing and adventurous in seeking all that life has to offer. Through Stiletto Woman, contemporary women are engaged and inspired to live fulfilled.

Stage of Life is honored to be a part of the Stiletto Woman's blog tour. They saw us an opportunity to reach our women readers and we felt they had a great story to tell, thus StageofLife.com agreed to help with their blog tour.
You can see details of the blog tour here.
For today's "deal of the day," we asked a few questions of Stiletto Woman and we think you might find the answers quite the deal - enjoy!
STAGE OF LIFE: Who are the top 5 women on the web and what should we know about them?
STILETTO: The top five women are Jennifer Sbranti of HostessWithTheMostess.com, Gigi Lee Chang of PlumOrganics.com, Lisa Bacon of YummyWebStudio.com (now The Moxie Pear), Sydney Loney & Nancy Ripton of JustTheFactsBaby.com, and Jennifer Threat of DoubleDutchMag.com.
These women are truly innovative. When launching this endeavor, we set out to find women who were doing amazing things with their small businesses, in various communities, and online—women who were innovative, showed great leadership, and had a desire to help others both locally and nationwide. We couldn’t be happier about the Top 50 Most Amazing Women on the Web, because they illustrate the unlimited potential we all have. They symbolize what is possible. Each woman has taken an idea and forged her own path to break new ground.
Hostess with the Mostess is not just any event and party theme site. They have a hip and modern twist that speaks to most contemporary women today. Plum Organics is taking organic baby food to new heights, and now offer products for toddlers and kids. Yummy Web Studio (now The Moxie Pear) is a stylish one-stop design studio that has a unique approach to getting online businesses off to a great start. Just the Facts Baby doesn’t simply give baby information; they have a journalistic perspective and provide expert advice that is unparallel. Double Dutch Magazine is leveraging technology to inspire African-American teen girls. They’ve built a vibrant publication that encourages girls to make a difference in the world.
You should definitely know about these ladies. They are AMAZING!
