TIME Magazine's Person of the Year
IN THE PAST
Tags: Time Magazine, Man of the Year, History, People
Since 1927, TIME Magazine has chosen a man, woman, or idea that "for better or worse, has most influenced events in the preceding year." There have been some controversial choices (Adolf Hitler, 1938), some non-people choices (The Computer, 1982), and several large groups as choices (the American Fighting-Man, 1950; the Middle Americans, 1968; and American Women, 1975).
