The Woman of the Year event was founded in 1987 by Assemblywoman Bev Hansen (R) and Assemblywoman Sally Tanner (D), who noticed the California Legislature had no events planned for Women’s History Month. In celebration of the contributions to society made by remarkable women throughout California, Hansen and Tanner arranged to recognize one woman from each Senate and Assembly district to come to the Capitol and be honored for their accomplishments.
Senator Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) represents the 36th Senate District in the California Legislature, which covers South Orange County, North San Diego County, and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
