It’s maybe a bit of a layup for the newspaper, but USA Today has announced that the former point guard turned attorney general and now Gov. Maura Healey made the cut as one of their Women of the Year.

“Healey, the first woman and openly LGBTQ person to be elected as Governor in Massachusetts history, is being recognized for being a trailblazing leader for LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive rights as well as for championing for justice and equality,” a spokesperson for the Gannett owned newspaper said with the announcement.

After nomination by readers, USA Today staff and a panel of experts, the honor is presented to women “who have broken barriers, including the stratosphere, to make significant change in their communities and around the world,” according to the company.

Healey’s selection for the honor comes alongside that of former First Lady Michelle Obama, former Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, actress and philanthropist Goldie Hawn and her foundation, the women of the 118th U.S. Congress, and NASA Astronaut Col. Nicole Mann, among others.
