Glamour Magazine held its 2013 Women of the Year awards gala last evening at Carnegie Hall in New York City, honoring women across the worlds of entertainment, philanthropy, education, fashion, and politics. The awards ceremony included a star-studded list of presenters, and Seth Meyers opened the show. Barbra Streisand and Lady Gaga were amongst the evening's honorees and you can check out their acceptance speeches below!
"Each of these women is a force individually, but combine them and you have something magical-a group of leaders who can change the world. Each one of these women inspires our readers to dream a little bigger and bolder-and to see them all in one place is electric," said Cindi Leive, editor-in-chief of Glamour.
For seven consecutive years Glamour has raised money for extraordinary philanthropic organizations through the Glamour Women of the Year Fund initiative. This year the Fund initiative supports 16-year-old Malala Yousafzai's The Malala Fund, which helps programs that directly impact the quality and accessibility of education for girls. The 2013 Fund initiative has been kicked off by a donation from 1990 Woman of the Year Ling Chai, who has supported the Fund initiative for six years through the Jenzabar Foundation. Donations made at the crowdfunding site catapult.org or at glamour.com/woty will be matched by the makers of the video game Just Dance 2014.
