Glamour Women of the Year Summit

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

This summit is an annual event where it honors women for their many achievements in music, acting, and science. These women are breaking boundaries for women and impacting the world for the better with their actions. Whether it is in media or doing something simple such as providing education to girls, these women fight to improve rights and opportunities for women.
