To recognize women who have gone above and beyond the call of duty, L’Oreal is honoring 10 “Women of Worth” who have inspired the lives of many.

These ten honorees were selected from 2,000 nominees by a group of elite judges including: Soledad O’Brien, CNN Anchor; Cathie Black, Chairman of Hearst Magazines and Karen Fondu, President of L’Oréal Paris.

The ten incredible honorees have received $5,000 for their charitable cause and $5,000 in their name to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). All these extraordinary women will be recognized at an awards ceremony and dinner hosted by Hearst Magazines and L’Oréal Paris at the Hearst Tower in New York City on December 9th. The National Honoree will be announced at the event and will receive an additional $25,000 to their charitable cause.

Now, as a BeautyStat.com reader, how do YOU factor into the equation?
