No American woman has won Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” by herself in more than eight decades. Time’s “Person of the Year” winners are themselves a reminder that power has long been concentrated in the hands of men. (That’s only two times more than a non-human — “The Computer,” “The Endangered Earth” — has won the title.) In 2016, Trump won the title, as has been the norm for the winner of a presidential election since 2000. Although, to be fair, “American Men” have never been named “Person of the Year.”This article was corrected to indicate that Simpson was born in the United States.
