Criticism
After Glamour announced that it would be giving an award to Caitlyn Jenner in November 2015, the husband of New York police officer Moira Smith returned the "Woman of the Year" award that Glamour had awarded her, with an open letter to Cyndi Lieve, the magazine's editor-in-chief.[28] Jenner decided to return the award, in 2024.[29]
