Los Angeles Times Women of the Year Silver Cup
The Los Angeles Times Women of the Year Silver Cup was an award presented to almost 300 women between 1950 and 1977 to honor achievements in science, religion, the arts, education and government, community service, entertainment, sports, business, and industry. It was started by Dorothy Chandler in 1950 but cancelled by Otis Chandler in 1977, as he considered women's awards “unnecessary in today’s world.”[1]
