Power Women

PRODUCED & EDITED BY ELAINE DOREMUS / PHOTOGRAPHY BY @JAMESGUSTIN/FIG MEDIA / STYLING & PHOTOGRAPHY DIRECTION BY THERESA DEMARIA / HAIR & MAKEUP BY LEANNA ERNEST, CATHLEEN HEALY, AND LAUREN WARD, DISTINCT ARTIST

We are pleased to present Hinsdale Living’s second annual “Power Women” feature. How do we define a power woman? She is strong, brave, and courageous— kind, loving, and honest—determined to live life to the fullest in her life, career, and community. On the pages that follow, we feature these inspiring women who build and uplift their families, co-workers, friends, and neighbors. These indomitable women make positive change every day in their positions ranging from philanthropists, couturiers, and wellness advocates to executives, attorneys, and creatives. Hinsdale Living celebrates our 2021 Power Women for their passion, tenacity, and resourcefulness in fulfilling their dreams and doing their part to make the world around them a better place for all of us.


If you like what you see in these pages, please know that this feature was met with resounding enthusiasm and will be a recurring annual feature. Feel free to email our team at [email protected] if you would like to recommend a Hinsdale area Power Woman for our 2022 feature.
