Inspiring Women

The Malaysian Women’s Weekly established The Great Women of Our Time awards in 2006, to acknowledge and recognise excellence, leadership and performance in a new generation of great women, all of whom we believe are the leaders of tomorrow.

There are six categories which include:

-Education & Public Service
-Design & Style
-Finance & Commerce
-Arts & Media
-Health, Sports & Wellness
-Science & Technology

A panel of judges will select six category winners who will receive a commemorative trophy. Additionally, one nominee will also win a special award; "Reader Vote: Great Women of Our Time, 2011" who will receive RM5, 000 from The Weekly to give to a charity of her choosing. This Reader Vote winner will be selected based on a reader SMS poll.

The winners will be announced at a glamorous gala dinner in November.

To find out more about these amazing ladies, grab your copy of The Malaysian Women’s Weekly’s November issue at a newsstand near you. Stay tuned as we blog about the 18 finalists for this year’s nominees this coming October 22nd, 2011.
