Woman of the Year

In the past, the magazine has named a Woman of the Year, honouring a Canadian woman for her achievements in the previous year. Honorees have included Prime Minister Kim Campbell, athlete Chantal Petitclerc, pop singer k.d. lang and Jane Doe, a Toronto woman who waged a successful court battle against the Toronto Police Service after alleging that in 1986 the police force had failed to issue warnings about the Balcony Rapist, who subsequently raped her.[1] One of lang's most famous songs, "Miss Chatelaine", is about her selection as the magazine's Woman of the Year.
