Showcasing three decades of Glamour’s Women of the Year, this
book is a record of the ceiling-shattering achievements that have
reshaped our world, and a manual for success for the women of today—and
tomorrow
For over 80 years, Glamour has been the preeminent female empowerment title in America. From Glamour’s origin
as the magazine “for the girl with a job” to today, strong, ambitious
women have always taken center stage, and no place more so than at Glamour’s annual Women of the Year Awards.
Launched in 1990, the annual awards have become a 30-year living,
breathing history, mapping out the evolution of women’s power across the
worlds of film, politics, sports, activism, and more. Many of the names
are familiar. We’ve grown up with Billie Jean King, Madonna, Nora
Ephron, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Titans of change like Michelle Obama
and Malala Yousafzai have rocked our world in lasting ways. Stars such
as Reese Witherspoon, Ava DuVernay, Julianne Moore, Lupita Nyong’o, and
Ashley Graham have used their global influence to shift the needle in
filmmaking, reproductive rights, criminal justice, and representation.
Other names you may not know so well include women who have transformed
the futures of school children in local communities, and teens who
organized millions to fight against gun violence.
Glamour: 30 Years of Women Who Have Reshaped the World
touches on some of the most culturally important moments of our recent
history. Additionally, it includes original content from Shonda Rhimes,
Diane von Furstenberg, Arianna Huffington, and more to inspire future
generations. Most importantly, the book offers inspiration and service,
reminding today’s women and girls that, in the words of 2015 Women of
the Year honoree Reese Witherspoon, ambition is not a dirty word.
