letter from the editor
by Judith B. Taylor

As DENVER WOMAN embarks upon its second year, many thoughts cross my mind.

Without the tremendous reception and support throughout the year for the magazine, our groundbreaking first year would be a different story. From the prestigious national awards to the positive local reception, DENVER WOMAN continues to amaze and energize all of us connected with the publication. Our First Anniversary issue once again reflects the energy, optimism, intelligence, skill and boldness of today’s Denver woman.
