Each year Exceptional Women in Publishing (EWIP) selects an accomplished woman to receive the Exceptional Woman in Publishing Award. We select someone for this honor who has achieved prominence in her career, has made extraordinary contributions to publishing, and has demonstrated success and leadership in nontraditional and/or exceptional ways. All the amazing recipients of this honor, beginning with Gloria Steinem in 1999, can be viewed in the list below.
