Welcome to our 40th anniversary Muse Awards. I feel such exhilaration as I write this. New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT) created the Muse Awards to recognize the extraordinary contributions women have made in the media and entertainment industry. In 1980, about 100 women gathered at Barbetta restaurant for the first luncheon— what would become the Muse Awards—to honor critic . Forty years later, over 1,400 of us are sitting in the Hilton ballroom to celebrate the accomplishments of women in our indus- try. Today we honor the past four decades, and the future of NYWIFT. The following are a few highlights from NYWIFT’s development:

1977: New York producer/director Lenore DeKoven and bureau chief Morna Murphy Martell convene 25 female colleagues in DeKoven’s apartment to discuss forming New York Women in Film—and suddenly the lights go out across NYC. Could the power surge resulting from creation of NYWIF have caused the 1977 ? 1990: receives a standing ovation for a passionate, politi- cally charged speech at the annual luncheon at the Waldorf Astoria. 2002: A symposium and film exhibition celebrating NYWIFT’s 25th Anni- versary, 25 Years of Women Calling the Shots, is held at ’s Walter Reade Theater. June 2019: NYWIFT presents its first-ever NYWIFT Summit on Inclusion, Equality, and Safety at the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice. NYWIFT has come a long way, but its core mission remains the same: ensuring that women take their rightful place in the media and entertain- ment industries. Let us celebrate those who have paved the way and inspire us. Happy holidays!
