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.
