The Cincinnati Enquirer's Women of the Year
Today, we celebrate the work of women whose helping hands have made Greater Cincinnati a more livable city.
Mentors, fund-raisers, volunteers and advocates, these women have tackled issues facing our health, the poor, children, the elderly and our common cultural awareness.
Hundreds of nominations poured into the publisher's office for our 33rd annual awards. From those, these 11 women were selected to join the 320 others who have been honored since Women of the Year began in 1968.
They will be honored today at a luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, downtown.
