100 Women of the Year

For nearly a century, TIME named a Man of the Year each and every year.

This year, the magazine decided to rectify the record and name a century’s worth of overlooked, influential women. And I got to help. I advised TIME’s editorial team, nominated scores of women of historical merit, and helped weigh the options and hone the final list.

I also penned profiles of The Suffragists (1920), Margaret Sanger (1925), Aimee Semple McPherson (1926), Mary McLeod Bethune (1934), Virginia Hall (1943) and Irna Phillips (1957).
