For 72 years, TIME named a Man of the Year. With a few exceptions, it was almost always a man, usually a President
or a Prime Minister or perhaps a titan of industry. Throughout history, these are the kinds of men who have wielded
influence over the world.
In 1999, Man of the Year gave way to Person of the Year. While the name rightly changed, too often the choice was
the same. With this 100 Women of the Year project, we’re spotlighting influential women who were often
overshadowed. This includes women who occupied positions from which the men were often chosen, like world
leaders Golda Meir and Corazon Aquino, but far more who found their influence through activism or culture.
As former TIME editor-in-chief Nancy Gibbs writes, this project is an exercise in looking at the ways in which women
held power due to systemic inequality. “Women,” Gibbs writes, “were wielding soft power long before the concept
was defined.”
To recognize these women, we have created 89 new TIME covers, many of which were designed by prominent
artists. We left intact the 11 covers for women who had been named Person of the Year. The 100 choices in this
project are the result of a months-long process that began with more than 600 nominations submitted by TIME
staff; experts in the field; our creative partner, filmmaker Alma Har’el; and a committee of notable women from
various backgrounds.
This process prompted just as many questions as answers: ”What does it mean to be a woman?” “How has society
failed to acknowledge the contributions of women?” One answer came from feminist organizer Gloria Steinem,
whom we picked for 1970, and whom we asked to revisit a piece she wrote that year in TIME called “What It Would
4
Be Like If Women Win”—a rare opportunity to reflect on 50 years of change.

TIME puts a feminist spin on its Person of the Year issue. Time magazine's '100 Women of the Year' list is celebrating
the influential females who have been 'overshadowed' by men over the past century to represent each year in the
last century despite their achievements. Inspired by the Time 'Person of the Year'—which used to be the 'Man of
the Year' until 1999—the new project spotlights the women who helped shape the world, starting with the
Suffragists in 1920 and ending with Greta Thunberg in 2019.
Over the past 100 years, only 11 women have been named the Time 'Person of the Year.' In addition to their original
covers, the magazine created 89 additional covers to honor the women who should have been featured but
weren't. Jacqueline Kennedy, Princess Diana, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Beyoncé are among the remarkable women
who have made the new list.
The release of the list coincides with the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in the US and International
Women's Day, which falls on March 8.
Filmmaker Alma Har’el helped conceive the project, and more than 600 women were nominated for the list. Time's
staffers and collaborators, including former editor in chief of Time Nancy Gibbs, narrowed the honorees down to
100 as part of a months-long process.
A profile was written for each woman, and actress Natalie Portman helped contribute to the project by writing
about 1962's honoree, Jacqueline Kennedy. Portman, 38, played the former first lady in the 2016 historical drama
Jackie.
Actress Olivia Wilde penned a profile that celebrates 1992's cover star, Sinead O’Connor, while author Brittney
Cooper paid tribute to 2014's honoree, Beyoncé.
