GLAMOUR MAGAZINE CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF POWERFUL WOMEN

This Monday, Glamour magazine celebrated the 25th anniversary of its Women of the Year awards at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

Without a doubt, the biggest moment of the night came when Caitlyn Jenner, a transgender advocate, won a Woman of the Year award. Jenner recently became a woman and there has been a lot of controversy surrounding her ever since. Presenting her with the award brings not only validation to her cause but the transgender community as well.
