R&B star Rihanna has been named Glamour magazine's Woman of the Year.

Rihanna will receive the Glamour honour during an awards ceremony next Monday at New York's Carnegie Hall, reports the Daily Express.

The singer, who was beaten up by her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in February (09), is now bouncing back from the turmoil.

After taking some time off from the limelight to recover from the brutal attack, the Bajan beauty is now preparing to make her chart return with the release of her album Rated R.
