Glamour magazine pronounced Anita Hill one of "1991's bright spots."
The law professor, whose sexual harassment allegations nearly cost Clarence Thomas a seat on the Supreme Court, was among 10 women the magazine honored Monday. Hill was praised for "sacrificing her privacy to speak out for women."The magazine said it chose women who were "beacons of integrity, humor, guts and grace in an often graceless and cold-blooded world."
Also recognized: Rep. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.; Johnnetta Cole, president of Spelman College in Atlanta; Washington Mayor Sharon Pratt Dixon; actress Jodie Foster; video producer Callie Khouri; New York Times columnist Anna Quin-dlen; Texas Gov. Ann Richards; broadcast correspondent Cokie Roberts; and breast-cancer video creator Lilly Tartikoff.
A special honor went to Army Maj. Marie T. Rossi, a Desert Storm pilot who died in a helicopter accident.
The women will be featured in Glamour's December issue.
