The Woman of the Year event was founded in 1987 by Assemblywoman Bev Hansen (R) and Assemblywoman Sally Tanner (D), who noticed the California Legislature had no events planned for Women’s History Month. In celebration of the contributions to society made by remarkable women throughout California, Hansen and Tanner arranged to recognize one woman from each Senate and Assembly district to come to the Capitol and be honored for their accomplishments.
