1936 - Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson
1952- Elizabeth II
1975 - American Women
1986 - Corazon Aquino

But after 1999's change to "Person of the Year", it wasn't until 2015 when a woman, Angela Merkel, was selected.

A whole generation was named in 1966: "Twenty-five and Under." (OK, BOOMERS!!!! Yayyy!!)

There are several years where large groups of people were nominated: the American Fighting-Man (1950), the Hungarian Freedom Fighter (1956), U.S. Scientists (1960), Twenty-Five and Under (1966), the Middle Americans (1968), and American Women (1975).
The winner in 2006 was even more unusual. The winner was "you." This choice was meant to draw attention to the impact of the World Wide Web, which had made each of our contributions both relevant and important.
