In
1984, Ms. broke new ground by naming writer/psychologist
Carol Gilligan Woman of the Year and creating an annual award
to recognize women's contributions to the life of the planet.
The award has celebrated extraordinary women who are making
a positive difference and has challenged the notion that great
works, inspiring deeds, or groundbreaking acts are the sole
province of men.
Recognizing the fact that women's trailblazing, activsm, and
accomplishments know no bounds, after the first year, the editors
made the award plural rather than singular — saluting Women
of the Year rather than one woamn. And from the beginning Ms.
sought to recognize women from many different walks of life.
We're celebrating grassroots, national and international activists,
political leaders, scientists and scholars, writers, artists,
entertainers, athletes, and entrepreneurs. But recently, during
a period when I was not longer in women's hands, the awards
were discontinued.
Free at last, Ms. is reclaiming that tradition. We will
celebrate the first of our twenty-first century Women of the
Year in the December 2001/January 2002 issue. |
