Brookline s 2021 Women of the Year have dedicated time and energy to championing social justice causes and uplifting members of their community. On Wednesday, it was their turn to be celebrated.
The Brookline Commission for Women chose awardees from a list of 25 nominees. Unlike in previous years, the Commission chose more than one winner, with Commission Chair Rebecca Stone citing the special circumstances of the past year.
“This year, the Commission decided we didn t want to try to choose just one person because women have been so much of the response to the extraordinary challenges of these times,” Stone said.

Many projects around Brookline otherwise relegated to the back burner during years of belt tightening could have a shot at additional funding as voters consider opting in to the Community Preservation Act.
Question 2 on the town’s May 4 ballot will ask voters to approve a 1% property tax surcharge to fund community-minded projects, such as affordable housing, preservation and open space.
What is the Community Preservation Act?
Passed in 2000, the CPA is a state law that allows communities to opt into a 1% to 3% tax surcharge on top of their property taxes.
The state provides matching funds up to a certain percentage – projected at 32.3 percent for November 2021 – with the caveat that the funds are limited to causes such as supporting affordable housing development, preserving historic sites, and building or rehabilitating parks and playgrounds.
