2008 Time Magazine named Michelle Obama Woman of the Year
TIME has named a Man of the Year for 72 years. With a few rare instances, it was nearly invariably a man, typically a president, prime minister, or sometimes an industrial titan. These are the kinds of guys who have ruled the planet at various times in history. Time magazine published a list of the women who defined a century in 2019, choosing one woman per year from 1920 through 2019, to commemorate International Women's Day and the 100th anniversary of American women being granted the right to vote. Except for the 11 occasions when women appeared on the Person of the Year cover, 89 new time covers were created.
According to this Time Magazine initiative, Michelle Obama was one of the 100 most significant women in history during the past 100 years. She was chosen as the Woman of the Year 2008 for her significant contribution to Barack Obama's presidential campaigns, "expanding the American Dream," as well as for her subsequent efforts to address social issues like education and healthy living. She was deeply committed to the well-being of our country and the future of its people, especially its children. Her charm, assurance, and openness gave the White House a friendly vibe. Her influence hasn't diminished even though her tenure as First Lady is finished.
