Debbie Nigro’s Katie Couric crusade appears to have struck a nerve. Not only are First Wives World readers weighing in with their take on the situation, press from around the world are picking up the story.

What do the 40 million divorced women in America have in common with Couric’s difficulties at CBS? Well, more than it might appear at first glance. In both cases, these women are navigating life solo, trying new things and doing their best to reinvent their personal and professional lives.

Now, will all those Katie comments translate into ratings gold? Only time will tell. Love her or hate her, First Wives World readers are chattering like nobody’s 'bidness'! Here are just a few of your comments:

I went through a divorce several years ago and I did it alone. I was away from home and blindsided but I kept my cool and exercised my way through it. How wonderful it would have been to connect to other women dealing with the same situation...

I found you [First Wives World] while reading about your support for Katie. I'm on board with that. I will tune her in and pass the word. It's sad to see her being beaten up and criticized at every turn. Maybe, if the word gets out on what you are doing, we can all help. Anyway, good luck with the site.

Any woman taking on a so-called "man's job" is going to be subjected to criticism. Katie brought years of experience to the job and attempted to provide a new dimension.

Any new approach brings comments, pro and con, but unless she has the backing of her producers and staff, it would be difficult to achieve her goals.

Seems to me that CBS is "dumping" on her instead of giving her the support she deserves. It is appropriate for both men and women to stand behind Katie who has blazed new trails.

Ms. Nigro:

Ms. Couric's morning success hasn't translated to the evenings because now "it's all about Katie." Under the microscope, it becomes evident that she does not possess the journalistic talents of her current competitors and many of the former network night-time anchors. It doesn't help that she has outdistanced her competitors in the category of "most run-ins with employees/staff/ co-workers.

I’ve never really supported her but I hate to see anyone take a fall or get beaten in the press, especially when she's worked as hard as she has to get where she is, and then taken a risky leap into a new venue. This girl’s thumbs are up...for the moment anyway.

I absolutely will not support!

Why would you choose to support a mother who has enough money to offer her children every advantage in life? How is she relevant or inspiring to those of us just working to make ends meet? I'll tell you—she isn't.

How about a single mother struggling to feed the kids, provide day care, hold down a full-time job without the luxury of nannies, cooks and chauffeurs and having enough strength at the end of the day to shower her children with love and support. I, for one, do not like her show but even if I did, I think your support should be for those who are truly in need—not just one who will raise the profile of your Web site.

It really doesn't matter whether you are a fan of Katie's or not....just the fact that she made it to the big time and is making great money should be the inspiration to us all. She worked animal hours to get to where she is, so kudos to her and Debbie Nigro for spotlighting her achievements.

I love that Debbie sings the praises of other women. This is a true woman that has heart and soul!

Let's give Katie the credit she deserves. See if we women can get her the votes that she needs to stay where she is. How many times to you turn on a TV and see a perky, smiling face, day or night, like Katie's. She is one of us. Go Katie, Go!
