For the first time, People has designated four celebrities as the "2019 People of The Year," and they're all women:
In the article linked-to above, the magazine's Editor-in-Chief Dan Wakeford explains:
This week we’re sending you an extra gift for the holidays: For the first time ever we are giving you four different covers in one issue. Our People of the Year issue celebrates the stars who have made an impact on our culture, the individuals who have moved us and entertained us. We wanted to see if we could soak up a little of their wisdom. When we sat down to look at who we thought deserved this honor, I wasn’t surprised that we ended up with an all-female foursome — this year has been dominated by strong women.
The "extra gift for the holidays" part is a bit of a stretch, but still, it's cool to see four women front and center. It's a nice diverse mix too. Three of the women are 50-something, one is black, one is Latina, one is married, one is engaged and two are single. None are named Trump; none are British royalty. Well done, People.
Last year at this time: Issue dated December 17, 2018
