Inquiries to: Charleston Women Magazine P.O. Box 22617, Charleston, SC 29413 843-881-148 Every issue of Charleston Women is special in its own way. Each theme shines a light on some place in society, or in business or in the home where women are doing amazing things. We hyperfocus on something unique every time, whether it be design, entrepreneurship, fashion or some other arena (the sky is the limit) where women are proudly wearing their crowns. This volume, our “She Shines” issue, is so distinguished because it showcases extraordinary women in all walks of Lowcountry life. Each of our sections includes a list of “shining women” in their respective fields. Winners and finalists in each category were selected by our readers’ votes, with no exceptions. We at the magazine feel it is important for the actual women of the greater Charleston area to make the selections. Real women speaking up to declare another woman as the best in her field is the ultimate compliment and truest showing of the opinions of the fabulous females this publication represents. We are proud to lend a platform to raise your voices. On top of the women chosen as shining stars in each category, this issue aims to highlight women who have shined throughout Charleston’s rich history. Women like the Grimke sisters, the Pollitzer sisters, Septima P. Clark and many others paved the way for us to easily own businesses, cast political votes and stand up as strong public leaders. The least we could do was celebrate them by printing their names once again. It’s our way of saying, “We remember what you did for us, and we thank you.” As you thumb through these pages, consider tipping your daintiest hat to our trailblazers while toasting your contemporaries. Then let it all inspire you. Find your moment, and shine on with us.
