Women's Image Network (WIN) is a charity that produces The Women's Image Awards,[3] "Advancing a gender-balanced world and increasing the value of women and girls by celebrating outstanding film and television." The awards show is produced during the Hollywood awards season to promote deserving media and drive attention to feature films also contending for Golden Globe and Academy Awards.[4]
WIN was founded in 1993 by filmmaker Phyllis Stuart to promote gender parity because, to the extent that women's voices remain silent, everyone is robbed of their contribution.[5] Its founder, film producer, and director, Phyllis Stuart Bert Stern: Original Mad Man: Film Review,[6] known for her films Wild Daze[7][8] and Bert Stern: The Original Madman[9] made WIN successful through the ongoing support, advice, and assistance of many seasoned entertainment professionals including Sherry Lansing and Arthur Hiller, two of WIN's founding advisory board members.
Selecting only media submitted from film studios and television networks, their jury adjudicates and nominates work that either tells a dimensional female character's story or is produced, written or directed by a woman. In this way, these awards celebrate both male and female artists whose film and television work also increases the value of women and girls.
In addition to awarding nominated film and television work, WIN honors deserving individuals, including Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor Senator Barbara Boxer, Lily Tomlin, Cecilia DeMille Presley, Abigail Disney, Mira Sorvino Ambassador Swanee Hunt, Suzanne Roberts, Maria Arena Bell, Diane Ladd, Jane Campion, Anne Archer, Jojo Siwa Carrie Fisher, among several others.[10][11]
