After weeks of anticipation from fans, Patty Jenkins has officially made TIME Magazine's Person of the Year list. The Wonder Woman director earned the #7 spot on the list, after previously being nominated for the accolade, and making the shortlist, earlier this week. According to the magazine's profile, Jenkins was chosen in part because her touch on the DC Extended Universe film sent audiences the right message in 2017. As fans have seen in the months since Wonder Woman's release, the film had a pretty profound cultural impact. The TIME profile argues that there's a parallel between the release of Jenkins' film and the #MeToo movement. As Jenkins put it, she's seen the effects of this movement first-hand, both in her experiences and in the scandal surrounding former Warner Bros. producer Brett Ratner.
